| Re: Idiot probably cause he can't go any higher...
Also lets face the facts,
The people in charge think that a 1970's model of measuring broadband is "adequate"
Do we really have to say anything else?
Each provider has the ACTUAL list, this should be a non issue, except its a political hot potato.
I think this is best evidence that this job should not be a political appointment | |

I've already said this before, but I'll repeat...I am not an employee, I receive no compensation, nor do I directly own any telecom stock or stock options. I'm simply a guy who's tired of seeing continued waste of my tax dollars and I'm definitely a guy who doesn't want to see increased waste of my tax dollars. | |

So then you don't actually have a vested financial interest in keeping the abysmal state of broadband at the status quo. You'd like to keep that way just because it appeals to you. | |

| Re: Idiot Don't put words in my mouth. First, I don't see this "abysmal state of broadband" that so many around here whine about. Second, I say bring on the broadband for customers who are willing to pay for the service (and I don't believe any service provider will deny service to those willing to pay for it). The problem is, that a lot of customers aren't willing to pay for these connections, they want everyone else to pay for them. | |

| Re: Idiot Those who aren't willing to pay hundreds/thousands of dollars for their precious connections. Those who want government regulation (tax dollars) to bring them service. Those who want a corporation, no matter what the cost or impact, to extend service to every person in this country. | |

| said by backness :as opposed to knowing that one in a particular zip code has a connection? I take it you were born before 1960? As opposed to knowing even the zip code level. Seems like a waste of money to me. And, not that it really matters, but I was born in 1973. | |

Can you just imagine this idiot as a senator or house rep.? He will not run for office. He will just shop his resume around to all the Telcos who he is owed by for his actions with the FCC and accept the best Job Offer (Deferred Bribe) he gets. | |

Except for the part about sending money -which I would never do even under threat of torture- Martin couldn't possibly be any more of bigger whore than the existing "leaders" in office already are. Name one -just one- that isn't spread & ready whenever his or her respective corporate master(s) john snaps his fingers? | |
