The main issue is the government's whole vision and strategy on how to deliver broadband to the rurual resident. The answer is simple, you need massive government goodwill and investment; both in regulation and capital expenditure. Looking out to private companies and the residents themselves doesnt work for the many reasons given here, and this is proven elsewhere. For example, how did the government of France ensure widespread internet use in the early 90's? they gave out a modem to each rural household to hook up on the X.25 network that laid out countrywide. It is how a government drives something like this that determines whether it succeeds or not.... On Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 8:47 PM, Steve Muchai <smuchai@gmail.com> wrote:
