U.S. Broadband Access Falling Behind

Posted by samzenpus on from the no-computer-left-behind dept.

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.
