Encourage real competition – ha there that is again. Like choosing between wireless, cable and telco are not real choices. yes there is SAT download too and Maybe someday BPL and floating blimps will work, but in the mean time the big 3 are the only game in town. So how is there NOT competition now between those 3 methods? I just don’t get it. Or do you really mean you want the holy grail of 100mg down and 3mg up and until you get that for $40 dollars a month there is no real competition. Never mind who pays for building it – you just want it now – is that what everybody means by real broadband competition?
How about us that can't get all three in our area. My area has (some) DSL, and some areas served by Comcast. My home (which is pretty much in the middle of the city), can get a max of 300/300 DSL (thank you Bell for not upgrading our infrastructure since 1950), or well, nothing. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17250148 Fri, 10 Nov 2006 07:39:48 EDT Re: Deborah Tate http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17240735 lvas : Encourage real competition – ha there that is again.

There is little he can do by himself except issue these diatribes against the policies currently in force. It is easy to point out the obvious when you don't have to be the one who picks up the pieces (or the proverbial baby).]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17239761 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 14:33:12 EDT Re: Deborah Tate http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238928 AtlGuy : Well I *was* eating lunch until I saw that hideous pic. *pushes food away* I'm suddenly not so hungry.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238928 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 12:20:27 EDT Re: Deborah Tate http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238473 nasadude : Deborah Tate is a republican. Republicans believe in big business, not what's best for consumers and America.

As long as there is a Republican majority at the FCC, nothing will be done to encourage real competition and the U.S. will fall further behind the rest of the world. Their methodologies will not change and they will continue to report misleading statistics about the state of broadband in the U.S.

There is some hope with the new FCC commissioner, as he lobbyed for the CLECs before being appointed, but until he actually does something we won't know.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238473 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 10:49:35 EDT Re: Deborah Tate http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238389 cableties : You want to share a pipe with her? ;)]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238389 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 10:34:11 EDT Re: Deborah Tate http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238384 Maxo :

Apparently, she is very happy with the state of broadband deployment, and according to her, BPL will be the way to go for future developments.

Unfortunately, she said that "with 98% of the country having access to broadband" we are in a very good state of affairs.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17238179 Wed, 08 Nov 2006 09:48:36 EDT
