how many companies across the nation have been putting in internet infrastructure for nearly 40 years now? thousands of them ready to go.
was the Government waiting for these companies to figure out how to do this when they've been doing it all along?
and you are right about Solyndra and yes i knew all about it and you omitted one thing .. they were criticized for faulty financial models that also contributed to their demise, despite raising all that cash.

Again like I said before, internet in rural communities has existed for a long time, just not high speed. Companies like verizon and google just aren't going to fiber up 100-500 houses 100+ miles out in middle of nowhere... there are thousands of these little communities.
Government is paying, they have every right to make sure everything is documented and the right vendors and contractors are selected. RFP process and responses take time. Detailed contracts have to be written, revised and then signed before one foot of cable is ran.
