    You (other nation-states) should consider what Canada plans:

    Gigabit Internet To Schools And Homes by 2005.

    There plans that are being implemented already for communities to consider how to get connected

    For this to be done is not hard to imagine. Telcos for the most part are charging insanely cash cow prices for really high speed >15Mb/s.

    Lets pull some numbers out of someplace say ~$10million to lay fibre from LA to Seattle. charged at $100 000/month for oc3 that works out to paying off the cost of installation in 10 years, pretty good for capital investement.

    So as ca net proposes why not get communities to lay their own fibre? and force the telcos to charge sane prices.

    (http://www.t1sales.com says $13000/month for t3)

  4. Re:We don't *need* the US, but... by Wedman · · Score: 2 · on How Dependent Is The Internet On The U.S.?
    For a start, most of the fastest connections in the world are to/from the US, and the backbone infrastructure there is pretty blindingly speedy

    Canada's CA-NET-3 is 60 times faster than the US's backbone. But I guess it's fair when you use the world 'most'.

    I think the map on ABCNews is bogus - How can they have a fibre link from Yellowknife direct to Halifax?! the real map
