yeah, I hate to think about the facts:

* monopoly/duopoly industry and lack of competition

* an FCC that cares more about what the telcos want than what consumers or the nations needs

* legislators that are bought and paid for to do the bidding of the telcos

and finally, the fact the U.S. is years behind the most advanced nations in broadband, with no hope for catching up anytime soon.

So yeah, I hate to think about the facts.

You just spewed more of the same. All you did was just bring up a bunch of points which does nothing to highlight the differences between South Korea's economy and ours. Perhaps you prefer to live in a socialist economy and pay for the porn, movies, and mp3's of those who are too lazy to work. I don't. It's also nice how you chose to ignore the fact salaries differences actually makes their price $65- 72$ a month on average. How many Americans would pay that much for service? Not many, the majority of Americans care about price.

I'll pick apart your flimsy arguments with real facts, not some BBR fed to me, because I know how to research and think for myself.

Bad point #1: Monopoly/duopoly industry and lack of competition

- South Korea really only has one ISP, Korea Telecom. Oh wait! That sounds like a monopolistic telco to me. I wonder why BBR leaves that out whenever they have a story about South Korea's Broadband. It's called card stacking. It's a form of propaganda.

Bad point #2: an FCC that cares more about what the telcos want than what consumers or the nations needs

- Please. You can say the same thing about Congress, the US Food & Drug Administration, or the EPA. Nice how you do back it up without any facts. That form of propaganda is called simplification. They really don't care about anyone's needs? Or your needs which you assume is everyone's?

Bad point #3: legislators that are bought and paid for to do the bidding of the telcos

- South Korea until very recently, had HUGE problem with corruption that make ours congressmen look like clergy members who took a vow of poverty. Oh yea, that's more simplification. A simple answer for a complex issues.

If this is representative of NASA, no wonder no major breakthroughs have come out of there in a while.
