US president-elect Barack Obama on Saturday vowed to make the largest investment in the country’s infrastructure since the 1950s and bolster development of broadband Internet connections as part of his program to create 2.5 million jobs.
Obama says he plans on spending billions on improving infrastructure, but he expanded statement that to include such things as broadband cable lines and hospital networking to make insurance cheaper. I'm fine with most of that, but is it just me, or does investing in broadband cable lines seem like a bit of a waste of money? It seems to me the future of broadband is wireless.
Thoughts?
