Yeah, not every telco participated, though the RBOCs sure did.
So, we've *already* paid the plant cost, and we've gotten nothing much in return.
Looking at just Oklahoma, I'm not sure AT&T could get even 200kb to every household for $200b.
More interesting, I'd be curious to see how well NSP's could handle the increase in traffic if every house support 45mb of Internet (not local video/voice). I'd love to see some good data on how the average throughput changes as the rates go up, especially with the continued increase of higher bandwidth video.
