1 edit | Those really are bad speeds for broadband, but It must be nice to at least have DSL. I sure wish I could DSL from the fiber line less than a mile from my home, and RT less than 2 miles from my house.
I think what a lot of you are not taking in to consideration is that almost every American can get a home phone line even if they can't get broadband. I think the plan of QWEST is to wait until those phone line are all but useless, because people who can not get a home phone in America will be a load voice, that will be heard. Then we can all pay to build a new network for them "even me who can not get DSL or Cable." Then all they have to do is rake in the profits. As for this guy being dumb, and yes he does sound pretty dumb unless his plan is to do what i said above. He does get paid 1.2 million a year to be that dumb. "He will earn an annual base salary of $1.2 million and a target bonus of up to twice that amount, Qwest said. During 2007, Mueller will receive a guaranteed minimum bonus of $947,000."

Please don't get me wrong. I think Broadband should be available to you if you get a dial tone. It is the wave of the future. But I think a lot of this we can not/will not build it out is just the big fish at the top feeding off of the rest of us. Heaven forbid they not make more in a few days to a week than most of use make in a year to bleed us dry. |

kudos:1 | Your right, eventually there will be an outcry, I recommend waiting until 2040-2060, when the current Generation Digital. I consider Generation Digital to be people born 1995 and later, 100% of them will know how to use the internet/social networking/how to use computers. The people who are in their 40s/50s/60s will be the descision makers and the people in power in Politics, Financial Markets, and Corporate Executives, at that point, they powers that control us will give us Universal Broadband, because they can't imagine living without it since they grew up with it since they were born. Its like running water, can you imagine living in a house without running water, or flushing toilets? No, in 30-50 years thats what broadband will be. Until then, just wait and cry. |
