Re: Poorer areas not getting U-verse is a problem?
Of course people below poverty line can afford it, even some kid with a paper rout could afford it.
"Broadband penetration" is now treated as a key economic indicator.
That means banks, creditors, insurance companys, etc will all be considering that before investing in an area.
We are in the "Global Economy" now, which we need upgrading infrastructure and penetrating even the darkest reaches of our country.
»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broadband_···t_access
--
‘Do ye, quieting in your bosoms your strong hearts,
Who of many good things have had your fill even to surfeit,
With what is moderate nourish your mighty desire; for neither will
We yield, nor shall you have all else as you wish.’

Really? how exactly is that? oh that's right---sock it to the rest of us in the form of WELFARE one way or another. You don't need the internet to get off the dole. YOU need to get off the free loading mentality . Get a job, feed your family then and only then think about broadband or any other. Or, move to china or cuba. |
