US Broadband Policy Called "Magical Thinking"
eWeekPete writes "Is the pipe half full or half empty? Not surprisingly, the talk at the second annual Tech Policy Summit was decidedly mixed. 'The US is still the most dynamic broadband economy in the world,' said Ambassador Richard Russell, the associate director of the White House's Office on Science and Technology Policy. 'As opposed to being miles ahead, though, we're only a little ahead.' But Yale Law School's Susan Crawford called Russell's position 'magical thinking. We're not doing well at all.' She proceeded to call the White House's effort 'completely inadequate on broadband competition.'"

Let me remind all citizens of the dangers of so-called Magical Thinking...We have scarcely begun to extract all the benefits provided to us by ..our benefactors...
Sounds like someone is channelling Dr.Breen.
There's no references to KFC or watermelons -- not a joke.
It's sorta like being in love with a hot chick that's no good for you. She cheats, she lies, she does drugs, she does all your friends, yet, you still love her ... abuse and all.
You must be dating my ex-wife.
Speedy thing goes in; speedy thing comes out.
Small fuckin' world, you guys. ...*snif*..
