The number is way too high from what I've heard, but I'm more interested in the proposition that:
The RBOCs (now "AT&T", Verizon and Century) promised to wire up the nation with good broadband (this doesn't, to my memory, have anything to do with the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996).
Got 10s of billions of dollars to do this.
If the two above are true, they obviously failed to do it, and weren't held to account.
