Connect Rural America: Barack Obama will ensure that rural Americans have access to a modern communications infrastructure. He will modernize an FCC program that supports rural phone service so that it promotes affordable broadband coverage across rural America as well.

Nowhere does Obama imply that the government will be supplying anything whatsoever. If you're worried about the cost of supporting those actually supplying the access then you should have a huge bone to pick with the gov under both the Bush and Clinton administrations. Since the early nineties the gov has been pouring huge amounts of money into a push for last mile fiber access, which has only barely come into fruition in the past year or so.
