Why is the Inventor of the Internet a
"Have not" in the Digital Divide?

In as it may be upon the innovation of a
new product or service, the innovator assumes
a dominant position in the respective facets
of that industry.  Right?  Not always!  Take
the humiliating example of the Internet as it
is today.  Yes... the Internet was invented in
the U.S.  No... Al Gore did not invent the
Internet.  Alas, he did make that claim while
serving as Vice-President. 

Recent reports ranks the United States 15th in broadband deployment
among industrialized nations.  But..... didn't the
Americans invent the Internet?  Yes they did &
now are classified as "have nots" in the sphere
of the Digital Divide. 

So... why is the inventor of the Internet a
"have not" in the Digital Divide? 

One answer may be leadership... or the lack thereof.

You know there is no direction when Congress has
to create a Bill in order to make a map to discover
where they might want to go.
