There's 140,000,000 homes/dwellings in the USA.

$65,000,000,000 / 140,000,000 dwellings = $464.28 per dwelling

The government should offer $464 per home to any ISP/communications company that can demonstrate symmetric gigabit Internet inside that home on the condition that the home has a one year subscription.

Things would happen then.

AT&T already offers symmetric gigabit fiber service in some areas, though it costs more like $1000/yr.

The US gov seems broken, hasn't done anything noticeably new and good for me since ObamaCare.

My old apartment used to have gig fiber, was super cheap too 80 bucks a month.
Frontier advertises symmetric 1GB service, but it doesn't always work that way.
