"Also, Tauke points out, the OECD studydidn't count Americans whose broadband connections are wireless, or through their work connection."
A) maybe people would like to have broadband AT HOME, not only at work where one would suspect he/she should be using it for WORK.
B) wireless? Please the only areas that have broad through wireless are people that live in highly populated areas that are already served by cable and/or DSL.
My best friend who lives a measly 4 miles from town only "wireless" options are satellite which is a joke or getting it through his cell phone company which charges $60 a month for speeds equivalent to dial-up and has a 5 GB a month cap. Who in the hell does this guy think he's kidding?
All these companies don't go to rural areas because they claim there's no money to be made. that's bullshit. First of all, 16% of American still use dial-up. While some may use it because that's all they think they need the vast majority use because they have no other choice. 32% Of Americans have no internet at all. Ok most probably because they either don't need it or want it, but some( like my friend ) because dial-up isn't worth the hassle or the money. So 110 million households in America 20-25 MILLION live in areas where there isn't any broadband and who WANT it and are willing to PAY for it. Don't tell me they can't make money from 25 MILLION households. If they can't may I suggest finding another line of work. |
