[Commentary] Daily respects the need to be careful in spending Recovery Act broadband stimulus funds to make sure we don't invite waste, fraud, and abuse into the system, but off the top of his head he could name a dozen worthwhile projects that could be making use of these funds today. They could be turning dollars into deployment at this very moment, getting unserved communities connected, finding new ways to encourage demand and adoption, and, most importantly, creating jobs. These are all people that are proven and projects that are truly shovel-ready. So what are we waiting for? Are we really saying that avoiding waste, fraud, and abuse is more important than stimulating broadband deployment and supporting the economic recovery?
