Re: So Much For Recession!
Most surveys aren't very reliable, so read them with a bit of skepticism, especially if they don't jive with real world conditions. There's no quality control to determine who's given accurate information to survey takers and who hasn't. Hard economic data collected by the government, which is based on objective, quantifiable data shows we're really in a recession. Heck, believe the reports about broadband numbers stagnating. I believe the next reports on the broadband subscription base will actually show it shrinking, if low caps really start to be implemented (not only do caps raise network neutrality issues, they're stealth fee increases). As I keep saying, broadband is not an essential, unlike food, shelter and energy. As people's budgets get stretched to the breaking point, non-essentials will get dropped, including broadband Internet. |
