To candidates: How will we get high speed Internet?

News.com recently asked all of the presidential candidates the following question:

Politicians have been talking for years about the need for high-speed Internet access. Should this be accomplished primarily through deregulation and market forces, or should the federal government give out grants or subsidies, or enact new laws?

This question is crucial because it addresses a specific need in this country -- universal high speed Internet access -- directly to the likely future president. While President Bush promised universal high speed Internet access by 2007, we're still far off from that goal. Until we have a president who makes universal high speed Internet a priority, the United States will be left in the digital dark ages.
