“But the real kicker is this: By 2010, America should
already have been rewired. Taxpayers have spent about
$320 billion for fiber-based networks since the 1990s
but have nothing to show for it. In fact, in many
states, all schools, libraries and hospitals should
have been rewired with fiber optic service as part of
changes to state laws that gave AT&T and Verizon
billions per state to remove the old copper wiring
with new fiber optic wiring. Worse, the money is
still being collected today in the form of rate
increases, tax breaks and other perks the companies
got.”
