Have you seen NY's infrastructure? Maybe if we shove a few more billion into the cronies running the show they might upgrade something. Doubt it but it is worth a shot.
The real problem is lack of meaningful competition and weak captive regulators letting our telecom companies defecate on everyone.
That is a major part of the problem too. It is called regulatory capture. The govs work with the companies to make sure competition is low. The system is rigged. We are not invited.
