But that's my point. Why not put all your effort into getting everyone on comfortable broadband before you focus on getting people who already have fast broadband faster broadband.
Maybe I just don't understand the USA fiber market as I live in the UK, and if your phone carriers are anything to go off it's probably a mess.
Because here in the UK a company might own the lines, but you can be with whatever provider you want(you will just have to pay a line rental to the owning company), and the government has had a lot of efforts to get the whole UK on a decent connection. But that's just my thoughts.
Because one thing is a technical barrier, the other is a political barrier.
You can and should improve your technology as your political employees work on deployment to new markets.
They're entirely different staff.
