I was just going to make a comment about possibly less expensive last mile solutions using satellites for downloads and using existing telephony for uploading...but I'm listening to the need for the upload to be fast as well. Yep, the speaker is right. We do need the "wire."

That said, the state is asking the providers where to spend the money? How about spending it where it will have the most impact for economic development and improved health and safety...AND helping lots of other folks get the fast down/slower upload that may be far more affordable in the meantime?
