Re: My response to Martin's op-ed "anyone in this country can get broadband, anyone anywhere, even morons in the middle of nowhere-land can get broadband."
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?

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.

...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....
