When President Obama took over the White House it was during a time when the country needed a leader to steer it out of a severe economic depression.
One of the methods he cited to bring the country back around and jump start the economy was the implementation of plans to establish more high speed internet networks.
In a country where many places are still working with dial up internet, it's hard to hold them to the same standards of business and industry that businesses with top technological access are reaching.
When internet can get a company half way across the world on the phone in a matter of seconds, it doesn't make much sense to do business with one that has to do everything by 'snail mail' still, but that's what happens in the absence of a broadband internet connection.
The cost of expanding high speed networks like cable and DSL, the terrestrial broadband networks, just doesn't make sense for either the government or private communications companies.
Now, the real technology of the future will come from mobile networks like mobile WiMax.
The main reason that such technologies are likely to take off where terrestrial broadband networks have failed for years is because of the ease of establishing infrastructure.
Instead of spending exorbitant amounts of money to establish terrestrial networks which are going out of vogue anyway, it makes more sense to install one tower and then supply an entire community with high speed internet instantly.
In many countries around the world this exact plan is already in action.
While waiting for the government to take action, there is more likelihood that private customers will give such technologies as 4G wireless internet the necessary boost to bring it to the masses.
Right now those using the 'fourth generation' of mobile internet in cities where it's already available are giving the mobile providers the necessary economic boost to continue expanding networks and technology.
As the government gets in gear with technology programs, hopefully the situation will improve too.
One way that businesses can help is by helping out their employees with 4G wireless subscriptions.
Not only is it possible to outfit employees with the ability to stay connected to the internet all over town, but to travel with portable Wi-Fi networks that can supply high speed connections to up to eight devices.
Any business that does business overseas or with a large amount of domestic travel, or even travel around its own city, could use employees that are more connected.
The more high end businesses that get involved, the better for those looking to get that economic boost located in areas that are off the broadband grid, at least the existing one, and are patiently waiting for technology to bridge the gap.
Hopefully, it will be mobile technology that does that.
Whether just for your own personal use or for the good of the nation's economy, start thinking about what your internet provider really provides you with today.
When everyone begins to see the big picture the future gets brighter right away!
