These are projects are the foundation interstate commerce and communication - the government has an inherent interest in investing in it. These are the structures we as Americans and citizens base our lives. I shudder to imagine a private sector highway system.

Look at Laura's column. There's plenty of irrational arguments in today's politics. ;o) Personally, I find telecommunications a rather integral part of infrastructure and should be provided as a basic service for the population. That said, I believe the same goes for housing and health care, and we all know that isn't about to change anytime soon. ;o) I’m sure there will be backlash along those lines, Mark.

I just had a recent discussion with a friend. He was quite opposed to any government supported wireless infrastructure. I see it as necassary, as many other goverments are starting to support this more than the U.S.A.
