Obama Looks Down Under For Broadband Plan
oranghutan writes "The Obama administration is looking to the southern hemisphere for tips on how to improve the broadband situation in the US. The key telco adviser to the president, Sarah Crawford, has met with Australian telco analysts recently to find out how the Aussies are rolling out their $40 billion+ national broadband network. It is also rumored that the Obama administration is looking to the Dutch and New Zealand situations for inspiration too. The article quotes an Aussie analyst as saying: 'There needs to be a multiplier effect in the investment you make in telecoms — it should not just be limited to high-speed Internet. That is pretty new and in the US it is nearly communism, that sort of thinking. They are not used to that level of sharing and going away from free-market politics to a situation whereby you are looking at the national interest. In all my 30 years in the industry, this is the first time America is interested in listening to people like myself from outside.'"
Don't stop voting out Republican hypocrites until we get our country back. That means more than 60 votes in the Senate.
It seems to me that America is largely founded on the principle of figuring things our for ourselves and believing that everything we have or do is the best. Also, we believe that sharing is for the weak...and communists.
Obama-dearist is displaying paranoia.
Good!
Perhaps, before his mis-bigotten days as the "Emperior in Chief" end in nuclear confligration, he will kill himself, just like dearist friend Adolf, and save the USA and the Russian Red Army, the bloody trouble.

So wrong it doesn't deserve a full answer
That is a very poor form of debate. You may as well have posted nothing at all.
I once took an excursion to Reddit, and later HN. Unlimited up/down voting sucks when dealing with a hive-mind.
