I find it funny that during all these 'predictions' no one can ever seem to mention all the money that the telco defrauded from the government back in the Clinton years.

For those of you who don't know.. Back in the 90's the government gave HUGE amounts of money to the telcos so that they could build a next generation internet with speeds like Japan. Also, to bring broadband to everyone. Even rural.

However, the telco's did not do this. Instead they squandered the money. They may still be receiving it. I am not in telco anymore, so I haven't followed it as closely. But rest assured...

Between the US government's accounting practices, and the telco's greed to push for more money and a tiered system of internet. No one is looking for it.
