Given the massive size of this legislation, it may be easy to overlook the nearly $7 billion dollars included for broadband build out. The recently passed Senate version of the bill allocates at least 50% of those funds to expanding broadband access to rural parts of the country still heavily reliant on dial up connections.<\/p>\n<p>However, as with many parts of the stimulus package &#8211; the questions remain:<\/p>\n<p>#1 &#8211; How many jobs can\/will be created by an initiative like this?<\/p>\n<p>#2 &#8211; How quickly can these projects begin?<\/p>\n<p>#3 &#8211; Once available, how many will actually sign up to use these new networks?<\/p>\n<p>#4 &#8211; How far will increased broadband access go in stimulating the economy?<\/p>\n<p>Outside of the interest groups that stand to directly benefit from this legislation &#8211; no one seems able or willing to answer these questions with any degree of confidence.
