Gotta be proud of our politicians....

They just Love to give all our money and land away to foreign entities.

Yeppers, only 1 internet provider, as well as cell phone service.

I'm one of the lucky ones out here. I get high speed internet, 7Mbps service. Most are still on dial-up. My service is "Up to 10Mbps" which is 7 for me. Another gets the same service but only achieves 3Mbps at their home. With a discount mine is $43 per month. $34.95 for the service, and the rest tax. I own my modem. just fyi.....

Oh, those poor people not having Gigabit service....

Eastern US. My 'high speed' access is 7mbps and I pay $63 per month. I have some of the faster access in our area. Some of the tiny towns out here are still on dial-up, not sure what they pay...

btw, mine is for Up to 10Mbps....as they don't guarantee speeds.... Still much better than nothing, and I honestly don't really want to pay more.

Just another bad gov't idea

First,

Broadband isn't available in our area, cell service isn't even in some of our areas.

Second, why should I pay for someone's cell/internet service? I live in an area that's relatively poor. Most is by choice.

This program is great for our drug dealers as it's more free stuff as they already get free food/water/etc. I just filed taxes for somebody and they got back over $5000 because of the earned income credit. They bought a 4 wheeler, go cart, and pool with the money. A lot/not all, of the people who would qualify for this program are just sponges.

We just get by.....so why should I pay for their phone and internet service?

Might save a bundle on college texts. My kid attended one college where the books were free, BUT, I know that's weird/rare/lucky. Books for my wife's masters were just stupid expensive.
