Let's make something clear: the future doesn't happen in America anymore. Got it?

Why do I say that? Well, this is a perfect example:

Top phone company AT&T Inc. shrugged off concerns on Tuesday that it would need to build a more expensive, all-fiber network to handle an expected surge in high-speed Internet and video traffic.

What they are saying is this: we don't want to invest in the future because we have a technology (substandard in many ways) that is just barely meeting demand and we're going to squeeze as much profits out of this as possible. Screw you and your dreams of internet speeds like they have in South Korea and parts of Europe. We don't want to be French!

It really makes no sense to me. Wasn't getting fibre into the home called the 'golden mile?' And wasn't the winner of that race going to really make oodles of cash? Looks like AT&T just conceded.
