Re: Govt has better things to do

It is a bit hard to craft, adjust or remove regulations when you have no clue about the state of the thing which you are regulating. This is why the government needs to know about the state of broadband deployment.

Re: Govt has better things to do

They already know the blueprints of your home, type of car you drive, how much money you make, etc.

Do we really need to divulge every little thing? If it aint broke....

Wow, talk about going off topic.

So, in your mind, you think its better when government pass regulations without know what they are regulating. For example, how can you know if it is broke if you don't know anything about the state of broadband? You can't.

We don't need more regulations, that's the problem.

With out fully knowing the state of broadband, how can one state that with any degree of certainty?

Of course, it is also difficult to regulate when you have no clue about the very thing you're regulating at all... considering how ignorant many politicans seem to be on the internet in general, one wonders what sort of "well-meaning" regulation we'd end up with...
