The Federal Government should dictate that people in rural areas get coverage like they did phone service. |

 | What, with this FCC? And this Administration?

Nonsense. When you can show an occurence of someone dying without Broadband then we will continue this discussion.

Hob The telephone had nothing to do with life or death because when you lived out in the boonies even if you called a doctor he probably lived miles away and you would die before he got there.
Broadband deployment should be enjoyed by all and it is feasible to do so the problem is that these greedy telco's and cableco's don't want it eating into their profits.
I still support a last mile owned and operated by the federal government or perhaps a singe company who would be responsible for the up keep. Then any company has the right to sell services to everyone in the nation. Having regional bells only created regional monoplies. |
