Obama, Build More Bandwidth!

What a rare time this is in the history of our economy. The whole world is waiting to hear what one man has to say. Ten years ago, who would have thought that at the end of 2008, a black man named Barack Obama would have so much power over the planet's wealth?

So far I think the public has been pleasantly surprised at how well he's handling this economic crisis. He's surrounding himself with some serious people, and really sounds like he understands their advice. It's good to have a qualified president for a change.

Personally, I take it as a very positive sign that he's talking about investing in America's infrastructure. That's the best thing to do to create jobs, and we need a major upgrade anyhow.

One thing that we should consider is to increase our bandwidth infrastructure. The internet is becoming much more video oriented, and that uses a lot more bandwidth, but is going to revolutionize international commerce in the next ten years. Widespread access to high capacity, high speed internet connections is going to be a major advantage.
