What's most upsetting...that the USA is now spending money to give Iraqis broadband! Pretty soon Sadr will be downloading more Pr0n than any of us! Oh! Oh! Oh! |

Re: What's wrong with this picture?
... and like it or not, it's the difference between having any level of safety here in the U.S. or not too. I'd rather live and have my 8mb broadband rather than no spend money to protect ourselves and have a large group of the populate wiped out in another attack.
We could have saved the money, but now we don't have the choice.

Meanwhile, the US gov spends around 400 billions plus a year in IRAQ. That's a lot of broadband that can be deployed. |

Here what is wrong. The Government of South Korea Spends 1.5 billion for a broadband network, money that could have been better spent. Oh yes have you forgot while South Korea Government spent bucks build their government project, here in the us, Yahoo was founded, Microsoft began to challenge Netscape for browser dominance, Google was not in existence and AOL, CompuServe, and Prodigy were the dominant players. All in part lead to the growth and US dominance of the internet, and billions dollars of new business created, with just dial-up. At this time South Korea was going thru a recession. Perhaps the lesson is we do not need to spend billions on a government broadband project. |
