I live in a town with a pop of about 20,000. My town is not that far away from major cities (half an hour by road). I have a fiber line that runs through my town. Yet my only options for broadand are Road Runner (for upwards of $55/mo) or Earthlink satilite (more $, less bandwith). If the gov't can get Verison to open up fiber lines, then I'm all for it! Perhapse then we can get some competition...
