Will Obama’s Economic Stimulus to Broadband Help?

This Associated Press story asks if billions are spent to fund broadband to unserved areas will it do any good?  Will new people sign up for broadband (51% say they’re not interested)? Will there be a “network effect” creating new jobs?

I wonder if the money were spent to upgrade the current system to make it cheaper and faster (think South Korea) whether that would be a better way to stimulate new business opportunities, more broadband users, new applications?
