FCC: Free internet to the U.S.A?

[Mike]

It seems a lofty goal, but the FCC is exploring ways to bring free broadband to all Americans, according to a Reuters report.

The plan, which is the brainchild of FCC Chairman Kevin Martin, would allow regulators to auction off unused pieces of the 25 megahertz wireless spectrum. The winning bidder would be allowed to use the spectrum as they see fit, provided that access is free. The winning bidder would also be required to keep the network free of pornography.

Advertising to support a free portal? No adult content? Free Internet for everyone? B R I N G I T O N, i say! Count me in. I would certainly accept a banner or ticker on the bottom of the screen or ads or whatever, if it frees me of a $50/mth internet charge.
Sometimes, as unbelievable as it is, even the Government has good ideas!
