$6 Billion Proposal For High-Speed Internet Grants

Posted by timothy on from the gentlemen-gentlemen-there's-plenty-to-go-around dept.

witherstaff writes "House Democrats have proposed $6 billion in Internet investmentsas part of a sweeping economic stimulus bill that the full House is expected to vote on next week. The $6 billion is considered a down payment on efforts Obama will make in this area over the next several years. Of course let's not forget the $200 billion broadband scandal that the large telecommunication companies have been paid but never delivered on."
