Given all of these comments (and historically too) for this article, people seem to detest giving the US credit for anything at all, besides being evil and war mongering. We chew up smaller countries, we take others' ideas. All of these comments are strikingly similar to the anti-microsoft rants we're all so familiar with.
Remember? It really wasn't that long ago that Segway came out and changed the way we travel, changed the way we planned cities, and created world peace! We don't need any more stinkin innovation!
I no longer live in Cerritos, but my family still does, and parts of the city *do* have DSL service, though much of it is a broadband deadzone.
Sad thing is that our cable company is the same as our phone company (at least in much of town), Verizon. So you can guess why cable modem service hasn't been rolled out. This is all despite what should be a great infrastructure because Verizon/Americast rolled out some experiemental high-tech-wizzy video-on-demand services a few years back (that has since been abandoned, I suppose).
I wonder why these companies find Cerritos so appealing when it comes to these services? (It's not a very populous city, the per-capita income is high but not the highest, and it's kinda stuck on the edge on la county and orange counties)

That's only because they happened to be in the way, or were trying to pull out a white flag instead of their guns.
Settlements do not set precendents, as there was no court decision.
Time to get the RIAA to request subpeonas to find out!
