$4 a gallon gas price is nothing compared to elsewhere in the world. Take a look at http://money.cnn.com/pf/features/lists/global _gasprices/

As for using a D block to build a nationwide public safety network, I'm all for it. It needs to be secure too so that it cannot be monitored by the criminals but the long-haul truckers should be able to access it to report accidents and things like that.

No, you've pretty much said it in a nutshell. It would take some very rich people who are committed to making it work and that would take a lot of money. I don't see it happening in a beneficial way anytime soon.
