I wonder how many winter coats for children in those poor rural areas 800 million will buy?
Do you think those children prefer winter coats or faster internet?
No shortage of winder coats for poor rural kids in this neck of the woods, amigo.
In fact, a friend of mine is storing scores of them that were collected for poor kids.
They're being stored because they cannot find anybody who wants them.
Meanwhile kids herabouts who live less than a mile off US route one don't have access to broadband internet service.
So I think making broadband internet ubiquitous in the USA is a damned good investment.
So let me get this right. These poor kids dont want free coats because...they arent great big name coats is my guess. They also want fast internet access. Hmmmm answer me this...how the f*(& do they get on that internet without a computer? Oh i know they have computers but here is my issue. Are internet, computers and brand named coats needs in life? Most Americans don't mind paying taxes and that money going to help poor people that need food, shelter, and clothing but I have a major issue with paying for people to have computers and internet and coat that i can't even afford. This is exactly why Americans hate the social programs.
you obviously did NOT read the article...it will bring broadband service to thousands of schools in the rural usa that do not have it.... and tens of thousands to hundreds of thousand small businesses....not just us richer folk living in rural homes.
