Why they use misleading data ... in http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r17790673 en Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:04:33 EDT Tue, 02 Dec 2008 08:04:33 EDT Why they use misleading data ... http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17790673 PDXPLT :

Still, every six months the FCC releases the data as required by the 1996 Telecom Act, which declared that if the FCC found anything wrong, they were supposed to take immediate steps to fix it.


Since Martin, et al, are laissez faire ideologues, they believe the total lack of regulation must lead to broadband nirvana for everyone, no matter what the reality turns out to be. This belief requires them to conclude that any data which shows broadband deployment is proceeding well must be accurate, while any data that shows otherwise must be wrong. Their belief system requires them to think this way; they'd probably self-destruct if they attempted to think otherwise.

This is no different than Paul Bremer's belief that total laissez faire policies in newly-occupied Iraq would lead to a paradise in the Mid East, or Mike Brown's idea that privatizing FEMA as much as possible was the best method to prepare for emergencies. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17790673 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 17:59:09 EDT Re: Great article. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17788408 systems2000 : I agree!]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17788408 Wed, 07 Feb 2007 12:12:11 EDT Great article. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17787792 Maxo : Just wanted to give a thumbs up to Karl Bode See Profile for a great write up.
