Halleujah. If Kevin Martin and his colleagues can pull this off this would be the best thing for poor people and indeed the rest of the econommy since slice bread.
I don't see how the poor benefit. Even if they get access to more broadband providers, I am sure that for many poor, broadband itself is a luxury. Broadband is probably not high on the list of things to buy when compared to food, clothing, medicine, etc. if one is poor.

I support decisions like these because I am against any artificial barriers to broadband or other next-generation information technology deployment. It doesn't matter if these are put up by the government or by private interests, they do nothing but screw us all as long as these barriers exist.
