It isnt as difficult an implementation as it may appear.

The availability is different from the promise that everyone will get a computer. Obama's idea is to just make it available. frankly, the people that would benefit the most from that are wealthier people, anyway. Why wouldnt they want wi-fi everywhere?
Philadelphia has tried to make broadband available everywhere and it's been a mixed bag at best. Stating is as a goal is one thing, trying to actually get it up and running is something else altogether.

Nothing more than vacuous campaign trail banter.
