ah, the talking heads unite

funny how there's only two camps on these (and many other) issues. there's "america sucks" versus "free market=jesus/manna from heaven". both sides have there own logic and charts and stats and bibles and whatnot to defend their position and defile the other side's position.

here's a thought: American broadband penetration is only as good as it's being reported, and by whom.

here's another thought: maybe American broadband is WORSE than it's being reported.

this is certainly the case with the FCC - they still define broadband as anything above 200K symmetrical. That means a 768k/128k DSL package isn't even broadband. Hell, my comcast 4M/384k package wouldn't even be considered broadband by an international definition (at least 1M symmetrical or higher).

well, like I said, it's only as good (or bad) as it's being reported, and by whom.

If you ask the free market gurus, all is well. If you ask the so called socialist pipe dreamers, the sky is falling.
