There must be clear, reachable and defined goals. There must be budgetary constraints. Then, and perhaps most importantly there must be a clear timetable for reducing or eliminating the federal government’s role in any such project.

Trump is a builder.

He just might be the president who could get this done and then get government out of the way.

On the down side I wonder what snooping protocols BIGGOV could build into such a national system.
government does not do infrastructure well. Just look how they let the roads fall apart. I see gov infrastructure programs all the time for work and it takes forever while the carriers upgrade constantly. Not a good outcome and it will stifle new tech.
