upgrade the US internet network to improve the infrastructure of the country

Created by B.P. on March 14, 2012

The internet is a vital tool to the US infrastructure these days but the physical network it runs on needs to be updated. Fiber optic networks are the best option because of their use of light. Fiber optic cables can transmit almost unlimited data and is essential to delivering high speed internet access to everyone. Laying more fiber to rural areas allows more people to connect to the infrastructure. One way of laying more fiber is with road construction. Conduits would be built with new roads and these conduits would carry the fiber. This could reduce the cost of burying the fiber and also add more jobs. The United States is losing to the rest of the world when dealing with broadband internet speeds. The United States invented the internet so we should have the best network in the world
