USF money is about the bottom 1% not the top 1%. I wouldn't be surprised if every Zuckerberg mansion worldwide has a multi-gig connection to support his Metaverse. The top 50% will continue to drive innovation (and bandwidth demand). Broadband service providers claim no ROI to build-out (regardless of technology) the tail of the long-tail (< 1%). Wireless/Satellite may serve some rich & difficult to reach places, not hasn't help with poor & difficult places. If you (as a taxpayer/ratepayer) are giving out $50 to $200/month broadband service provider incentives/subsidies, what is a reasonable expection of the minimum (not "up to") service levels (100/20)?
