Or how to say 'Market Failure' loudly. The FCC is waking up to the fact that the US lacks both the infrastructure and the mechanisms that would allow for its development and keep the country ahead (or even on par) with the rest of the world. Hopefully the realisation will translate to practical incentives to telcos and ISPs and regulations that would liberate the market from the ruling oligopoly and spur competition as well as a comprehensive benchmark that will guide the market towards some reference point. Alternatively, the temporary euphoria of WiMAX induced activity of the near future will probably mask the deep and basic problems with telecommunications in that country.
