And someday we'll catch up with places like Japan that have ridiculously
cheap fiber-optic broadband access to the home/office, for ridiculously (by
US standards) low prices. I think cellular data is at that point too.
We're still behind a bunch of other countries in terms of coverage, pric, etc.

Not likely... Once the cost and complexity of actually doing that
becomes clear, most sponsors / municipalities run like thieves.

It costs money to maintain that kind of infrastructure and ever more
money to provide the kind of bandwidth subscribers would be willing to
pay for.

Good luck Charleston!

We were on vacation in Florida, about two years before I hit puberty. One
bed vibrated and the other didn't.
