This is yet another example of the Federal Government interfering with the
free market.

The govenrment is not needed to *fix* the Internet backbone. If the
various labs, schools, ..ect need bigger and faster connections then they
need to dig into their pockets and, god forbid, pay for it!

I see absolutly no reason why I as joe sixpack taxpayer should have to
fund through my tax dollars some multi gigabyte backbone that I am not
even allowed to use!!!

<sigh> Hopfully the revolution will come in my lifetime.
