Broadband Stiimulus Package
More talk recently about the broadband stimulus package that the Obama Administration has been alluding to for some time now. The hope is that a large national investment will provide some jobs as well as support America's traditional lead in the technology industry. This Business Week article comes out in favor of a national investment, although it doesn't do a good job of reconcile the fact that jobs in the the telecommunications sector have been shrinking for over a decade despite an increased demand for telecommunications services (from 1.7% of all private sector jobs in 1998 to 1.3% of jobs today)?
Also unclear whether such public sector investments will complement or compete with private sector investments - and will they result in slowing such investments down?
