Krusty, you probably know the history of technology as well as anyone and who has controlled a majority of it since its inception. I.P. address space, wireless frequencies, Unix operating systems, security algorithms, telephone systems, communications satellites, etc... Unless the FTC and FCC are suddenly out of the loop, there is no way the government doesn't already know what consumers have known. There is a reason advertised bandwidth is precursored with the words "up to" and end with "depending on your".
There is a very interesting and innocuous place in Mississippi where the military does things, in public view and otherwise. One of the really cool things about this place is that it's a technology incubator for people who, if they present a project deemed worthy of further development can use government money and facilities to develop things that could be used for many different purposes. They supply the office space, warehouse space, labratory space, computers, telephones, etc... That place is tapped into many other sites across the country with similar missions, and one of the many things they have the capability of doing is exactly what the supposed purpose of that government project is claiming it's for.
