U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind
EpochVII writes "FreePress recently released a report(PDF) detailing the woeful situation of U.S. broadband access. From the press release: 'By overstating broadband availability and portraying anti-competitive policies as good for consumers, the FCC is trying to erect a façade of success. But if the president's goal of universal, affordable high-speed Internet access by 2007 is to be achieved, policymakers in Washington must change course.'"
Can you give me an example of how the US government is moving to limit the freedom of expression of citizens in the USA? Even Cindy Sheehan is freely calling George W. Bush the biggest terrorist in the world.
Thanks bub...you win the right wingnut moron award.
"DARPA-NET" Heard of it?
The U.S. government had quite a bit to do with the formation of the Internet and it still has the entire beast by the short hairs.
What planet are you on?
And, yes I expect the government to set standards for the distal-GI tract paper products.
You can continue to use that Sears catalog or the handy corn cobs left over from last season's field corn.
Your country is educated through marketing campaigns, are all corporate bitches, and 5% of the population controls 95% of all assets. America is socially retarded. Uneducated spiritually. And compassion is a word most Americans do not know how to spell. You have a fundamentalist totalitarian iliterate Creationist tyrant for a boss, and you're the bully of the world. But this debate is over. The cold war for you was lost in your constitution - because America is for sale, and you are no longer the worlds' largest economy. Welcome to China, your new Masters. My only hope is that they will treat you right, and foremost allow you to keep your guns so that you can continue your civil war that never ended.
Ok. A bit bleak. And I guess an anti-america protest. Here comes the razor.
And yet you fail to see the forest for the trees.
Were that I say, pancakes?
