Well, I think Google has the right idea with providing Internet by floating balloons. And the way that cell phone tech has been improving, we might all have 10G in... 10 years or so? If Google is providing it, it'll be monitored by our government but hey, we'll have enough bandwidth to hang ourselves with :) I really wish more places would just start Internet co-ops.

Yet, here, where I live, only 47 road miles from New York City, I have a cable company who sells me metered (yes, METERED) DOCSIS, for nearly $100/month, 35/3. The limitation is like 100 GB/month or something (the equivalent of the amount of Netflix or AppleTV my kids watch in a weekend) No alternatives, no FiOS, no nothing. Well, I can get 3/.768 DSL if I please.
Someone, please help me.
Please.

Oddly, those living in Grand Coulee, WA.
I went there once to setup corporate connectivity for a regional tire
store.
They ordered the minimal drop, 50/50Mbs. One of the tire changers there told me that he had 100/100 at home for $50/month.
This was a town without T-Mobile service. I had to haul out the butt set and clip on to the business POTS lines to turn up the VPN.
Most of rural Central Washington has very good fiber connectivity. Forward looking Public Utility Districts FTW!
