Anti-recession fiber Internet for multi-trillion boost to the economy
June 13, 2009
High speed fiber internet is being implemented with greater speed and higher penetration around the world than in the United States. The 5-10+% [700 billion to 1.4 trillion per year initially] boost to the GDP that would come from 100+mbps symmetrical access would quickly pay for initial subsidies.
Implementation by say Japan means that other countries the United States could also have them by adjusting policies and rules to prevent incumbant companies and groups from blocking successful rollout. The first example is super-broadband. The economic benefits for super-broadband have been shown. It is to the benefit of a economic benefit of country and its people to enable super-broadband (at least 100 mbps both up and down). Having a system set up that slows and prevents this rollout is stupid...
