FCC's Triennial Review Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the navel-gazing-for-meddlers dept.

rednaxela writes "The FCC, after six months of deliberation, released the Triennial Review order on the evening of August 21. The Order makes substantial changes to the rules governing the obligations of the regional bell operating companies (i.e., SBC, BellSouth, Verizon and Qwest) to lease their networks to the competitive local exchange carriers (e.g., MCI, AT&T) for the provision of local phone service and, perhaps more interestingly to this audience, broadband. Brief summary here, link to the order and the FCC Commissioners' statements at www.fcc.gov."

      Umm... He's/She's saying that broadband just went to hell in a handbasket. A view that most of the posters to this article seem to share. This isn't offtopic, it just takes some thought and a sense of humor. If you can't do either of those, then put the mod points down before innocents get hurt.

    I was at my best friend's house for the first time, and her whole family (most of her family lives on the same street as she does) started to play the regular evening game of badminton. Of course, I wasn't a very good player, and my crush (my best friend's cousin) and my best friend's family taught me how to play.

    I was doing well until it was my serve. I had the birdie and the racket in my hands, and instead of throwing the birdie, I threw the racket up. I was so embarrassed. Just about her whole family was on the ground laughing, and to make it worse, I was jittery after that and I hit her aunt in the head with my racket! I've never played since!

      I landed a jet plane on an aircraft carrier lately. All the people loved me. In reality however, I can't fly and all the pilots were laughing at me behind my back. That sucked. George W. B., Washington, DC

    I was just getting on the bus with my friend after a huge shop fest. I had these killer platform boot thingies on, and I was trying to impress everyone with them.

    As I got on the bus, my heel got caught on the step and I fell, face first, on the floor of the bus. My nose was bleeding, and I had mud on my face.

    I was even more horrified when I saw a group of boys on the bus that went to my school.

    But a week after that little episode, one of those boys asked me out. I guess he liked my little fall.

  8. Well, here's a bit of my experience by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I was in the front row at a BACKSTREET BOYS concert -- halfway through the show, Kevin came up and singing to me. I started jumping up and down and, before I knew it my tube top had fallen down and my boobs had popped out.

    Now, I'm sure he's seen a lot of weird things at concerts but he stared at them just the same. Hmmm -- maybe I'll wear a tube top when I go to see *NSync!

    "I was on my first real date at the movies with one of the hottest guys in school. We were in line getting our food and he said, "What do you want, I'll pay."

    I went to the counter and the woman said, "May I help you?" I knew what I wanted, but my mind went blank so I said, "Medium popcorn and a large drink." "What kind of drink," asked the woman. "Large," I said. "A large what?" said the woman. "Drink," I said. "What kind of large drink?" she asked. It finally clicked, "Root beer!" My date starting cracking up and said, "Forgive her, she's a blonde!" I was so embarrassed!"
