Don't be surprised if you hear that or something like it, in the near future.

I can smell your opposition from here ;p - Not referring to a plan like this in general, but, if there was some kind of 'sure thing' I wouldn't be against a major project like this to get it to where it needs to go. Like the interstate system - imagining how long that would've taken to happen if left up to the states and based on market need... it just wouldn't have worked. Granted, not the same deal funding-wise, but sometimes that sort of top down approach is the only way to get something huge done.
We're definitely not there yet - look how long after the automobile was UBIQUITOUS it took them to realize the benefits of building the IHS.
