:0  I was taking editorial license and extrapolating from this
 To fix the situation, Crawford recommends that the U.S. 'move to a utility model, based on the assumption that all Americans require fiber-optic Internet access at reasonable prices.'"


To mean the NBN

Well they're not actually suggesting NBN.

"The FCC's National Broadband Plan of March 2010 suggested that the minimum appropriate speed for every American household by 2020 should be 4 megabits per second for downloads and 1 Mbps for uploads. These speeds are enough, the FCC said, to reliably send and receive e-mail, download Web pages and use simple video conferencing. "

Rather sounds like they'll be lucky to get nationwide FTTN.
