In Japan, "cable" means fiberoptic cable and subscribers pay mush less. The gov. took a charge to broke up the telecom companies in small size for more competitiveness and subsidized its infrastrucute cost.

US gov, have been doing totally opposite. Why? Because telecom companies, cable companies have been lobbying to keep it that way.

Michigan should try broadband over power lines. I think it would be a good idea to let the post office do this. it will give a new purpose to them.
