Why You Don't Have a Broadband Connection
blandthrax writes "I ran across this article on The New Republic. The long and short of it indicates that the reason why almost 90% of Americans don't have a broadband connection is because current broadband providers are preventing other ISP's from entering the fray. The result: higher prices for broadband connections and a general lack of innovation. An interesting read full of good details. And, as usual, we learn that countries such as Japan and Korea are far ahead of the US in terms of innovation and technological saturation."
I have a broadband connection. I don't care if the other guy doesn't. In fact, being a member of the 10% that does makes me feel like a real 3liT3 d00d.

And when are YOU going to thank our Canadian snipers for taking your American soldiers TO SCHOOL? Remember that world record for longest snipe we just set in Afghanistan? Goes to show, brotherman.

That's coes all the decient ones arn't in the wank mags you have to look at.
How would you live without broad-band, your piece of shit modem would only get half way down her face before you'd cum.
I'm supprised you even know what chix are.
I didn't realize that you were Canadian?
The U.S. sat back and sold munitions to the allieds, and then, when every last penny was taken, every last drop was squeezed out of the Allied Nations, they let themselves be bombed, sat in the back lines, and won the war.
How many Americans fought on the African front? Not many. How many stormed the beaches at Normandy? Which one of you killed Hitler?
You guys had your hands full with a little island country and got so overwhelmed, you had to drop the most destructive weapon ever conceived on them (developed by Germans).
Even your movies (U-571, Pearl Harbour) are so far based in fiction that it perverts truth and decency. News flash, the Americans did not go on some ultra top secret mission to recover an enigma machine. The British did, and pretty much bailed your ass out.
Why don't you go read some more American dick-stroking history and live in your fantasy world, and don't pollute ours!
japan and korea have broadband everywhere because 90% of the fucking people live in fucking cities. The fucking companies know this so they can charge a fucking dollar less (LINUX R00LZ) for a fucking lot of people. FUCK NORTH KOREA. thank you.
