I find the proposal for affordable broadband for all by 2007 made by President Bush today an interesting one. There are several questions that come to mind with this issue. Such as how will the infrastructure be developed to support the additional traffic. Additionally, there are a lot of issues that need to be settled in regards to regulation of broadband in this country. The industrialized countries of SouthEast Asia and much of Europe have access to faster broadband pipes then we do in the states mainly due to the Baby Bells and other telecom corps lobbying hard to hold up development of the needed infrastructure (WSJ: Broadband Fiasco (subscription required) or TCS: Broadband Misinformation for another viewpoint).

In the end though I do think I'll support this drive for the simple reason it'll help lower prices.
