FCC study estimates $23.5 billion needed to bring broadband to unserved areas

http://connectedplanetonline.com/residential_services/news/fcc-study-broadband-unserved-0507/index.html

"The study estimated the total cost of bringing broadband at speeds of at least 4 MB/s to the 7 million unserved homes, which house approximately 14 million people, at $23.5 billion."

The population of the US in 2010 was 308 million. So are we really going to spend $3000 per household to bring the last 2% online?
