Makes sense to me. Government-subsidized broadband for the poor makes about as much sense as government-subsidized color TVs and VCRs. People can get along just fine without broadband, whether rich or poor. The fact that so many people who can easily afford broadband choose to do without it ought to tell you just how dispensable it is for most people.
