Task the USPS with getting the dark fiber online, connecting strong routers, and collecting money from peering agreements with ISPs and bandwidth providers.
They can call it the "USPS Internet Backbone Service" or something like that.
There we go, funding problems solved--and they'll still be doing the same job--packet delivery.
To push that analogy a little further:
The Gov has physical control of all mail moving thru their USPS facilities--at any time for no expressed reason mail can be scanned, opened, disappeared, etc and this is normal because everybody expects some mail to just never arrive.
Perhaps if all email went thru their facilities their wouldn't be complaints...
Also, Senators/Congressman get "free postage" privileges, perhaps they should get "free bandwidth" equivalent privileges thru the new gov email routine (& inspection) facility...
_sigh_ If only I could afford the time off work and the travel--I would be there too.
Instead, I'm telling everybody who'll listen for 30 seconds about it, hoping my small contribution will result in at least an iota of forward movement for OccupyWallSt.
Perhaps all those comparison the Madonna are pretty accurate... If memory serves, Madonna was a smart cookie who planned for and got success. Obviously Lady Gaga is of the same breed.
How smart could Madonna/Lady Gaga possibly be, you ask? Smart enough to not let on how smart they might be to your or me.
And, you can work for between $0.50 & $1.25 an hour for the Prison Industrial complex--all while they make excuses to keep you in jail for longer; and without the benefit of modern amenities like beer & strippers...
