Looks like where gonna get a corporate war...
- But between the FSF..wait...isn't that free software ?...
- No! Hum I mean Yes! But we still reserve the right to sue you.
- So your not free?...
- Yes we are but if you steal code, where gonna sew you !
- Who can you steal something free...
- Hum... Anyways Microsoft is the Devil ! and BSD is crap !
-...
- Repeat after me dammit !
Here in france, you can get 30meg for 30E. And it's no crappy bandwith. Because here there is a real competion between internet providers. The internet is pretty stable even with people uploading and downlonding (up cap is 1meg).
The probleme is that internet service providers in the US and UK don't want spend money to put in fiber optics...
In Japan, most of the people get a fiber to there home... And they get 100meg both ways (not 100% sure..) and they don't have problemes...
The hole internet is going to collapse is FUD. It's only because service providers don't want to evolve.
The internet should be free of access. It should be considered like a cultural thing.
Like having access to books in a library.
We should do mesh networking, we would have problems with ISP.
Telecomunication is a lot cheaper here in France. And we still considere it expensive. Look at the prices over in sweden/finland/norway.... And here all cell-phones have sim cards, whitch makes them compatible between the networks.
The iPhone is crap conpared to phones sold in Asia. The on ly interesting feature is the multi-touch. You can get more stuff in cheapers phones.
The probleme in the US is competitions. There's only 3/4 compagnies. And they probably agreed on an equal price ages ago.

If you have a good king, you'd probably be better than in a democracy with a bunch of mindwashed lumps...
