Seems like we have been down this road before. And it always leads to
more attention for you and a dead end for those seeking this holy grail
that you proclaim.

If you do this right (and I refer you back to my previous comments
on the
subject) and find a suitable application that allows you to build the
network in the first place and get it paid for, then end user fees
are the
icing on the cake.
Imagine a small ISP being able to offer broadband at this speed at
the
price of dialup.

not massive government,

Commentary: Behind In Broadband
Friday August 27, 3:58 pm ET
To have any hope of joining the world's broadband vanguard, the U.S.
must create a viable third competitor. The options are few. Congress
is
unlikely to force politically powerful Bells to share their networks,
even though lawmakers are expected to rewrite the telecom industry's
regulations next year.
Much more promising is the rivalry that might be sparked by new,
inexpensive wireless technologies. Chief among these is WiMax,
expected
to be available next year. WiMax is expected to zip bits through the
airwaves as fast as 75 megabits per second and cover areas as wide as
30
miles. Because the equipment needed to cover a small city can cost as
little as $100,000, WiMax could open the door to a stampede of
contenders. Already, it's winning the backing from the likes of chip
giant Intel Corp. and cellular pioneer Craig O. McCaw.
