Did you ever think that the government realizes how important to the economy the Internet is? That they realize that by expanding access to broadband, it increases the economy? Driving up the tax base? Aha...that last part was just for you, 101. Feel better about it now?

There is a basic concept you don't seem to understand, which is competition. Without competition, there is little incentive for companies to produce better products. Again the government is not the answer to this...

In case anyone has forgot the government for years has gave money and/or tax breaks to companies to get them to stay in an area. This has saved jobs. Without that the company would pack up and move to another area. What they are doing is helping with the cost so that is worth a company to go in and provide service to an area. Unless I read wrong this story said nothing about the government running a a high speed internet biz. I hope some people in this thread dumped some money in tinfoil stock because I think its going to climb high on this thread alone. James

And seeing the emperors new clothes makes you a fool... What's your point?
They can already monitor everything you say and do aside from face to face conversations. |

Title should be "Making universal porn a reality" since that's what people end up using most bandwidth for.

I don't agree with this proposal. Most of the people who don't get high-speed now are in rural areas, with low population density. So if they put up new towers or cables to reach them, the cost per person is high.
Those people can always use dial-up. If they don't like how slow it is, tough luck. Move to a bigger city. The fact that other countries have better access doesn't impress me........How many rural areas does Japan or S Korea have? Last edited by Homeslice; 12-20-2009 at 04:10 PM.. |
