WHOA.

The USG doing something that is actually good for us?

I am speechless!

Um, actually, there is one thing I can say: As much as I love technology and communications, could you guys maybe, instead, spend money on say fighting cancer or Climate Change or that mercury they just found in *every* fish?

Not much good in having a kick-ass, next-gen communication network if ya ain't around to use it...
