Demand More From Your Copper

D3 wrote in with a submission about fiber to the home, or the lack of it, and the reasons behind this, and ways to work around the Bells to provide high-speed access despite them. A pretty decent article, which actually goes beyond the Baby Bell PR-speak that deregulation is the solution to everything. Maybe at some point state and Federal regulators will realize that the Bells are the problem, not the solution.

How could I ask for more? It already keeps the hot stuff hot, and the cold stuff cold!
Oh wait, that's my thermos. Nevermind.

The Temptations are made of copper? That's right, the legendary Motown greats, singers of "It's Alright" and "(The Way You Do) The Things You Do" are made of copper, by decree of the Triumvurate Council of It Scholars. Unfortunately, this doctrine was rescinded, to be replaced with: "The Temptations are made of Tungston".

Please hold on to these important facts.
