Japan can lay broadband pipe for $20 per houshold and it’s much faster than anything we have in the US. It costs us $800 per household. Maybe we should steal a page from Microsoft’s playbook and start getting aggressive in ways that would have frightened me in 1995. As a country, we need to be more competitive. Start right there. Bluntly: Why can’t we lay broadband pipe for roughly the same price Japan does?
