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.'"

    I took the train on vacation this year, in Canada. I never realized it before, but the train, even the not so high tech ones in Canada, are actually very fast. It's nice when the train is beside the highway, and you're passing all the cars on the major highway, while sitting in your much more comfortable seat, drinking coffee, and reading a magazine.
