Kim Dotcom's Next Venture: Free Broadband To New Zealand

First time accepted submitter damagedbits writes "So it turns out that Me.ga is only part of Kim Dotcom's resolution for 2013. Even though he's still facing extradition to the U.S. for alleged piracy, Dotcom has plans to resurrect Pacific Fibre's failed project to construct a fiber optic cable across the Pacific to the U.S. The new line will bring free high-speed broadband to New Zealanders and double the nation's Internet bandwidth, setting Dotcom back about $400m." Some of that funding is based on optimism: "Dotcom plans on getting the majority of his funds by suing Hollywood studios and the US government for their 'unlawful and political destruction of [Megaupload].'"

Light bulb joke by Anonymous Coward · 2012-11-04 21:17 · Score: -1, Troll

How many faggots does it take to change a lightbulb?

Only one. If you put more than one faggot in the room together they'll be too busy fucking each other in the ass and will never get around to changing the lightbulb.
