It would be pretty ironic, but maybe it would kick Microsoft to do something similar. If they already have fancy buses to shuttle all their workers around, why don't they lay a nice fiber network to give them all fast internet (and allow more reliable working from home).
When MS announced the Xbox One, I was actually on their camp. I bought into the whole idea of digital distribution as the future of gaming.
However, not once have MS done anything to actually improve the US internet speed or infrastructure since. Its like MS sold me on the vision of a future, but came back to tell me that they don't actually have a plan to make the vision possible.
