'reminds of all you people down there who freaked out when that family from your neck of the woods came up here and got lost. You guys just couldn't understand how anyone could get lost in this day and age. 'like you think everywhere is like where you live, and there's a Starbucks on every corner. |

@verizon.net | reply to Oleg Broadband isn't a right, it's a product. No one forces you to live in a certain geographical area. If your local supermarket doesn't carry a certain product, should you expect your govt to subsidize it and provide it for you? |

| reply to eliopep This is what it comes down to, whether broadband is a generic product like pop-tarts or rutabagas, in which case it should be left to market forces to develop; or whether it is an essential product, a utility.
I personally have a hard time seeing it as anything other than a utility. In this day and time, data services are as essential to citizens' lives and to the economy as power, water, and POTS, clearly.
Do you think that these other utilities should be or have been deregulated to the extent broadband is? Were this the case, I would suggest that the US economy would never have been able to develop as it has. |

| reply to eliopep To carry the analogy forward, the government does regulate what exactly goes into the products your supermarket carries. This sort of regulation is what allows you to buy a gallon of real milk, and not a gallon of milk-flavored chalk-water (true example).
I want a real-world definition of broadband, not the watered down version the communication companies provide. |
