The United States government are aiming to spend a phenomenal $4 billion to provide broadband internet access to those areas that haven't been served such a service - however, major communications industry heads have raised flags toward the legality of such a plan.

The U.S telecoms giant US-Telecom has said out right that they are looking through the requirements that Obama has laid out toward loans for both non and for profit organisations affected, and that it feels that the new legislation may go above and beyond... the law itself.

"We are concerned that some of the new mandates seem to go well beyond current laws and FCC rules," USTelecom President Walter McCormick said. McCormick basically outlined that the new rules may lead to an uncertainty and a delay toward the revival of the U.S. economy - not the right time to stir such ideas some might say.

The money put aside for telecommunications comes as part of a total $7.2 billion that the government are spending on setting up high-speed Internet facilities - a figure that was tucked under a whopping $787 billion package designed to "Stimulate" the United States' economy.
