I appreciate Joe's use of quotation marks here. A lot of the dialog
has included this 'fast lane' terminology, yet all of us know there's no
'fast lane' being constructed, rather just varying degrees of _slow_
applied to existing traffic.
It's a shame the use of 'fast lane' is ubiquitous in this argument.
If the local distribution networks would like to actually build
something fast, then this would be a different story.
