I mean this just became law. Shouldn't we wait a bit for things to shake out before taking such hardliner stances?

Depends on when you did this crazy thing. Was it in the dark days before they were "ubiquitous"? (for lack of a better word. also it's just a fun word)

Then you're a hero to those who made use of it.

If someone were to do that today, though, then yes, seek help.

;)

Agreed. I was being facetious by suggesting the engineering was complicated.

And by "entrenched players", I meant anyone that has a horse in the race, not just ISPs.

Yet the country put people on the Moon, built that highway system that spans edge to edge, has telephone services across it, places cables across oceans, built oil pipelines running crazy lengths, among numerous other ridiculously complex engineering projects.

But "bury big tubes with fiber optic cables in them" is somehow too complicated of an engineering task?

The reality is we could get it done, there's just no political will cause the status quo benefits the entrenched players.
