| why I do I have great trepidation when Congressmen think "The United States doesn't even rank in the top 10 of the nations of the world in broadband deployment," said Rep. Joe L. Barton (R-Texas), the main sponsor. "This bill should change that statistic."
So because we do something completely irrelevant to competition, suddenly the vast majority of people will somehow acquire new isps where most only have 1-2 choices.
Note to Bagdad: Target these fools and do us a favor. |

| The grand irony is that if this bill passes, it's very very likely fewer people will see service as incumbents will be largely freed of all rural or poor deployment obligations.
Note how it's reported on in the press as something that will bring about video price-Utopia. The ham-handed regurgitating reporters are almost as bad as the puppets being paid to pass these incumbent written laws. |

Re: why I do I have great trepidation when Congressmen think I would have to agree; the death knell for those of us with no wired broadband service, but not in the boonies. It really is very depressing (yet not surprising) these things make it.
Thank goodness I can pay $90/mo for the privilege to have ISDN service.  |

| Of course.
It's just a big poorly monitored slush fund for them....
If anyone actually did any investigation, they'd find one of the biggest taxpayer fraud cases of all time. |
