The more of those people that get broadband, the higher the lowest- common-denominator for development/accessibility is raised.

What is really sad we have been putting gobs of tax payer money into "upgrading" our infrastructure but nothing has been done; billions wasted. When you can live in the middle of no-where in Sweden and have an internet connection 10 times better than just about everyone here for half the price I think thats pretty messed up. One things that I didn't see mentioned in the article, although I must admit I just scanned it over briefly is that as technologies relating to compression and transmission evolve the need for higher bandwidth is lessened. At some point the need for bandwidth and the evolution of compression will meet. On a side note, I think Mark Cuban is a moron.

We're getting ripped off. He’s right about the bandwidth. We’re getting ripped off.
