As a matter of fact, Vice President of the United States of America, Joe Biden had announced the spending plan details in the previous week. According to the announcement made by the Vic President, an initial investment of $183 million would be made in broadband internet projects across seventeen states.

Interestingly, the chief economist of Biden, Jared Bernstein, even though could not precisely state the number of job opportunities created by the funding, it is expected to burgeon tens of thousand employment opportunities, according to the report.

The report further said that the officials of White House were aiming to connect in a better way to the USA’s internet backbone, the needy communities of the country. The Internet Backbone of the USA has been defined as a large network of fibre optic cables of high-bandwidth. The initiative is understood to be launched with aview to boosting the education and healthcare facilities, and enabling a great number of people in the country to benefit from the work from home option.

The news agency also reported that until now an amount of $121.6 million has been earmarked for building as well as enhancing broadband internet connections in communities lacking adequate access. To bring a better connection to the homes, schools and hospitals in the country, a further $51.4 million has been commitment. A fund of $7.3 million will be set aside for expanding general access to broadband internet in public spots such as libraries, and $2.4 million will be used for creating projects that promote internet-related benefits to people that were not internet savvy.

Almost two thirds of the people in the USA enjoyed broadband internet access at home, according to Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Still, one third of this group were found to have not adapted it, while a further four per cent lamented that they were not having access at their residing area.

On the other hand, in the United Kingdom, the Digital Britain minister has committed to the next generation super-fast fibre optic broadband rolling out to every household in the country. To realise this, Stephen Timms the minister has proposed the introduction of a GBP 6 a year broadband tax on every fixed phone line in the country, which will be used to fund the rollout. Alongside another promise made by the Labour government is also due, which is all about the rollout of a 2Mbps basic broadband service to every UK home that would be completed by 2012.

According to Timm’s estimation the broadband tax would raise GBP1 billion by 2017, which in its turn would ensure that ninety per cent of the Britons would enjoy next generation broadband internet services. It is understood that the tax would be a part of the Finance Bill of the next year.

Would you believe it that the president of the most virulent capitalist state in the world was given an opportunity to address a gathering of university students in the city of Shanghai by the government of a country that is renowned as one of the last bastions of Socialism. And more surprise in store to know the subject of his speech – human rights. Nevertheless, the Obama juggernaut rolled on as he unfolded his message, so delicately balanced, as broad as broadband internet, “I think the stronger becomes the society as more freely the information flows, for the citizens of the countries across the world can then hold their governments accountable.”

Apart from the verbalization by Obama attempting to encourage a misdirected and excessively subservient population to conceive the essence of human rights, everything that happened there bore an air of apprehensiveness, if it was to be given in an honest vein. Take the reports of the various newspapers, which mentioned a subtle message being apparent in the words of Obama that unless the only superpower in the world and its rising challenger worked hand in hand few challenges faced by the world could be solved. However, given the historical facts anyone with a decently healthy psyche can predict that China’s would be the last government in the world to enjoy the statement of the American president that he was one of the biggest supporters of non-censorship.

Of course, Hu Jintao’s China is no Stalin’s Russia, ruthless Deng Xiaoping must be no more as well, but still seldom are they unaware of the fact that there do still exist in the red state the remnants of the bloody massacre of Tianenmen Square that took place in the late 80s. And seldom would they forget that the tens of thousands of youngsters that flocked at the place then to meet with their destiny had come there to importune for the permission to exercise their rights. For everyone across the world, but the regime of Xiaoping, they were obviously humans. According to Chuck Doherty, the broadband specialist at Broadband Suppliers, fortunate were the rest of the people around the world at the time, for not having largely exposed to the internet; because it would had been a burden then seeing the live clippings of the bloody carnage and topping that up by sitting helpless.

“Anyway full marks to Barack for telling them that – although he was saying this as part of his addressing the students, the message was well hurled at the leadership of China – they in the United States considered it a source of strength for having unrestricted or free internet access, which he thought should be encouraged as well. His message was full of implications that even if evaded by the Communist leaders feigning ignorance, was certain to go right down the hearts of the millions of commoners – lovingly called proletariat even in a socialist people’s republic – languishing there under the ‘most charitable’ eyes of the ever-greedy bureaucrats and politicians”, said Doherty.

Doherty added, “One of my Chinese acquaintances, now settled in Oklahoma City, an ardent fan of Wayne Rooney and the quad-play broadband TV phone mobile bundle packages of the UK, once gave it rightly and candidly that he was fed up of the so called communist politicians straddling his homeland like parasites, sucking the fluids out of the fatigued trunks of peasants and industrial labourers that toiled for the country relentlessly to give it the status that it enjoyed at present. Nonetheless, he was full of hope that some time in the future the system would change for goodness’ sake.” “Meanwhile, I personally think that Barack looked a bit too much diplomatic as he not only refused to acknowledge the Dalai Lama, apparently to placate the communist giant, but also swallowed the fact that the internet sector of China posed a grave threat to the rest of the countries’ cyber-systems by spawning out an astronomical load of viruses and worms from its arsenal”, lamented Doherty.

Indeed it is a point that simply having the back-up of the most advanced broadband/mobile broadband technologies that gives fast outputs regarding data transfers and bandwidths would seldom amount to reaching the goal, unless the service is provided in an unrestricted manner. Comparing with the broadband internet scenario in the UK where people are free to express their will against some uncalled for services such as monitoring their internet ventures using the ISPs or even proposing certain legislation to disconnect the service of the persistent file-sharers, the broadband using public of China can be rightly termed as a dumb lot given to unmanly submission, simply for the reason that it has lost that character of protesting against subjugation. And if it is their trait then it is high time it has been said, “There exists no genuine broadband user, but state financed hackers and hijackers in China.”
