The problem that this thread is discussing are the people who don't have that access, and unlike in Great Britain, it's a much higher number than .01% in the US that couldn't get high speed internet access (other than satellite, which I don't even really consider to count as "high speed") no matter how much they want to pay. There are quite a few towns in New England that don't have access to High Speed Internet or Cable television, and New England is a pretty highly-populated area. It's even worse in other parts of the country. These are the areas where the mayors and town councils want to bring in their own wires and provide the internet access, but the other providers are trying to pass a law to make this illegal.
