More broadband deployment does not necessarily equate to greater adoption. Broadband will remain inaccessible to poorer families if affordability is ignored.
We should use all technologies. The end consumer doesn't mind where the technology is. They want it to work to meet their family's needs.
I don't believe the bill addresses that, and I worry the money that is invested in other Federal programs is either going to be wasted or conflict and definitely lead to the point of overbuilding, to subsidized overbuilding.
