It appears the president is pushing for communities to step forward and build their own infrastructure.
The cities he want's the country to emulate are Cedar Falls, a city that built there own ISP and fiber to the home infrastructure that was featured on the Tek a while back, Kansas City, Where Google laid out fiber, and Chattanooga, which did something very similar to Cedar Falls.
Now, we don't know what "executive action" the President is planning on taking as yet, he's traveling to Cedar Falls in the coming week for a press conference to speak on the topic more. But, do we think this will actually change things, or will it happen like when we gave tax breaks to ISP's for infrastructure improvements? I for one sincerely hope that this, along with the change to the definition of broadband, forces a change.
