Re: My response to Martin's op-ed justn, who do you work for, really?
Where is the 15 dollar service and what percentage of ALL computer users is that? Please, I want you to give me the EXACT figures that PROVE you are right and that "deregulation is working." I don't want history from the 20s, 50s, or 80s; I want the numbers from NOW in the case of broadband penetration.
I want to see how "successful" deregulation has been. So please, line up the numbers that show how America's growth is equivalent since all the massive deregulation with Korea, China, Canada, Iceland and other countries that have regulated more since we began deregulating. Oh, that's right, troll! We've dropped an incredible amount comparatively! Wow! China's communist. You don't get much more regulated than that, eh? Hmmm, and it turns out they have just as diverse a geography as the US! Why, even more so! Real facts and citations before anymore idiotic and untrue claims. Don't give me percentages comparing USA now with USA past. Give me international comparisons of rural and urban areas. Give me real data. You won't be able to. Because no real data on the subject supporting your claims exists. We are falling every year in both speed AND penetration on the international level. Your fallacious claims, as usual, only irk. I wonder sometimes if maybe you're actually just Kelliher. | | |

Palo Alto, CA | I wouldn't bother. Justin is just a blowhard that shows up every now and then to regurgitate the same tired lines. Gosh. Who has more credibility? Dane or Justin? Need I ask? | |

Wow I have misunderstood the meaning of "deregulation". My use of the word was meant to say less government oversight of business. Well if I read this right it seems that it is the opposite.

Yet even tho the word now has a mis-meaning I am still 100% fu*king right, try 83% growth in under 1 year since the FCC stopped forcing line sharing.

Thats 83% buddy, HA! Less government control is better for everyone. as for the international crap, it does not fly, anyone in this country can get broadband, anyone anywhere, even morons in the middle of nowhere-land can get broadband. Have a look at this link, all of America is covered.

Not only that but realize that the only reason more Americans do not have broadband might have something to do with the fact this country is so great. Milwaukee for the past 9 days has had summer fest going on, something like 15 bands a day playing onstage. I am the only person I know that spend more than a hour a day online. Most people are doing things, no one wants broadband, if they do they can get it as I have shown.
As for who do I work for, I work in a machine shop, as a quality tech. I inspect parts on a Browne and sharp CMM, do surface plate layouts. I am just a normal guy, with a slightly higher iq than most. I know many who are smarter than me, yet I can do simple research and have a good memory retention. I will not say the name, but if Karl ask I will provide him with details even numbers to verify my claim. I work 3rd shift as well so now I am going to sleep....... | |

And even a--holes from some suburban botox babylon can talk trash on the internet without knowing what the hell they're talking about.
Actually, no, nitwit, not everyone can get broadband. Satellite hardly qualifies as an effective broadband connection--not only is it unreliable and extemely latent, but it doesn't come even close to the speeds of current DSL and cable, let alone the kind of next-gen speeds that are going to be becoming increasingly neccessary in the future.
Oh, and those same satellite services are available in other countries. Do you ever think before you type?
Furthermore, I suggest that you compare US broadband penetration to other countries before you start doing any little victory dances.
"Not only that but realize that the only reason more Americans do not have broadband might have something to do with the fact this country is so great. Milwaukee for the past 9 days has had summer fest going on, something like 15 bands a day playing onstage."
Right, so there's no broadband available, because no one wants it, because everyone's watching bands in Milwaukee. So if 'everyone' can get broadband, I suppose all the disaffected users here are what, a figment of my imagination?
"I am just a normal guy, with a slightly higher iq than most."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Right. Let me see your MENSA certificate. | |

You're right, if we want to look at it that way, everyone in the world can get internet over satellite, minus some extremely remote areas in siberia maybe...I'd hardly call satellite broadband. | |

Satellite is broadband, you can not just pick and choose what you consider broadband and expect others to agree. ISDN is broadband, satellites are broadband. So I remain correct in saying anyone can get broadband. I proved it so your wrong.
I suggest YOU compare the broadband penetration, if you can not site the source study and the para metrics of the study then they mean nothing. Show how the data is collected, you will soon find out the studies are false. One country cooks the numbers to make a appearance of higher usage.

Actually, justn(ot)credible, it's much more like Burger King had a 100 year state-supported monopoly, owned the streets, and wouldn't let customers get to Wendy's. The new concept of "street-sharing" would be imposed to let customers use the Burger King streets to get to Wendy's.
You, of course, would be complaining about how you "owned" those customers whose driveways connected to BK streets, and it was "theft" to allow Wendy's customers to "trespass".
Since the passage over BK streets was accompanied by fair compensation, you would be wrong, but it wouldn't stop your histrionics.

...and minus people without a clear exposure to the southern sky--like folks who live on the north side of an apartment building, or who have metallic coated windows that don't open, or who live in the satellite shadow of a small town hospital or grain elevator....
