OK, I will bite.  If you know for sure that it is entirely privately funded, you must know all of those that funded this Quintillion project, including those that have contracted for service.  Or, is it just hearsay that it is entirely privately funded?  USDA has been providing loans and loan guarantees for broadband infrastructure.  Are you certain that no USDA moneys will end up being used for the benefit of the Quintillion project owners by providing a mean to market some of their bandwidth.  Are you sure that no State of Alaska money will end up going into Quintillion's accounts once this project is completed?
