This high speed net would allow producing HD recordings for students without computers at home. This could be the difference to reach a sustainable rate of education to keep the US in the lead of science.

It should be a grants to companies that deliver this rate with these requirements: a. Detect and monitor all the user-declared SPAM from anywhere and delete it from the stream. A minimum of 100 users required. Also, the pattern of distribution, 10,000 messages in 4 hours, or some such, would automatically delete all messages from the one source. Otherwise, email will clog. b. Inspect all transmissions to detect verified nefarious messages or virus, latent or active. Specials needs can be accommodated with automatic translators at the receiving site. High speed super-computers can keep up, funds provided for this task. c. Special commercial rates to compete with Cable HD TV with a declining rate over agreed time, no more than 2 years. d. Compatible with WiiMAX. In general, the minimum ought to be 50 Mb/sec or higher.

It's not organized either by performance or price - is there some weighting factor? So we're near the bottom in terms of speed but near the top in terms of cost. Free market, gotta love it! Interesting table – how exactly is that organized? It’s not organized either by performance or price – is there some weighting factor?

So we’re near the bottom in terms of speed but near the top in terms of cost. Free market, gotta love it!
