Bush: Universal Broadband by 2007
From My Way News (AP):President Bush on Friday proposed 2007 as the goal for universal availability of high-speed Internet access to keep America competitive and innovative.
Speaking at length on the subject for the first time since August 2002, Bush discussed broadband while highlighting home ownership in the critical state of New Mexico -- a state he narrowly lost in the 2000 presidential election.
"We ought to have universal, affordable access to broadband technology by the year 2007," Bush said. "And then we ought to make sure as soon as possible thereafter consumers have plenty of choices."
"It's important that we stay on the cutting edge of technological change, and one way to do so is to have a bold plan for broadband," he said. Bush did not elaborate on how he would accomplish the 2007 goal.

Broadband for everybody! Here's something I can get behind:Bush also urged that broadband access be tax free. "The Congress must not tax access to broadband technology if we want to spread it around," he said.Do you hear me Senators Voinovich and DeWine? How 'bout you Gov. Tax...I mean Taft. You RINOs that want tax everything are killing us all...
