No, I don't see that  |

No, I don't see that Yeah, unfortunately that policy is taking us from being a world leader, to just the middle of the pack.
When did our Country go from being a leader, or an A student, to a follower, or a C student?

When the mega-corporations started running the country through lobbyists and campaign contributions (and old fashioned bribery.)
Those comapany's that throttle should be downgraded in the worlds broadband table's.

A corporation's goal is to make money. You're thinking of something else. |

Campaign contributions are bribes, it's just a nicer way of saying it. I thought everyone knew that. |

You go and buy a computer today, a year from now someone else is going to be able to go out and spend the same amount of money (or often less) and get a much better machine than you bought. Same deal with broadband delivery technology -- those later to the game get better/more capable hardware for cheaper. Companies that deployed first are stuck waiting for their original equipment to depreciate before they can replace it with something better. |
