US Ranking for Broadband Falls

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the but-don't-worry-none dept.

Ant writes "Broadband Reports mentions Declan McCullagh's CNET editorial where he believes everything is a-ok in the world of broadband, and people concerned with falling global rankings are over-reacting. 'FCC figures released last month show that 94.3 percent of U.S. ZIP codes have high-speed lines available to them,' he writes; though as we've pointed out, the FCC considers one home in a zip code with broadband to mean that entire zip code is 'serviced.'"

    fix, as in: "fixed the election." Or "now that he's gotten a 2nd term, he and his cronies are going to fix you real good." Also, "when W appoints Ashcroft to the Supreme Court, there won't be enough heroin in the world for you to get a big enough fix to make the crying stop." Or perhaps, "it's too bad Bush 41 didn't get fixed when he was in his early twenties."
