>From the article:
"We already have our highway system and our electricity. Time has come for our broadband. It's a utility. We now need broadband to 
live, work, recreate and even make a profit. Whether in Palo Alto, Calif., or Cavalier, N.D., we need our broadband. Many local 
areas of America are attacking the need for broadband ubiquity, but perhaps it's time for a national program."
