"The US Federal Communications Commission (#FCC) has authorized more than $18 billion to be paid to #carriers to #expand #rural #broadband."
Based on the results of PAST such subsides, of course, the $64,000 question — or rather, the $18 billion question — is whether carriers will actually do anything after they pocket the money. If carriers had actually built the infrastructure they promised to build out in return for past subsidies, the entire US would have a robust broadband infrastructure already.

And if we had some ham, we could have ham and eggs, if we had any eggs.
