I don't agree with this proposal. Most of the people who don't get high-speed now are in rural areas, with low population density. So if they put up new towers or cables to reach them, the cost per person is high.
Those people can always use dial-up. If they don't like how slow it is, tough luck. Move to a bigger city.
The fact that other countries have better access doesn't impress me........How many rural areas does Japan or S Korea have?
