Oh, more handouts for the ISPs? $400B wasn't enough? NO government money should be given to ISP companies until the people who stole the last money are held accountable.

here it's going to a company that's charging double or triple (or more) what the phone companies do in the country where dsl has been extended... and for far less speed..

these guys certainly aren't using those public funds to build an adequate network in the rural / small towns part of the state.
