 mworks join:2006-06-13 Faison, NC | Same old stuff This will not change anything. I looked at the website and they want to improve things by lobbying in Washington. That hasn't worked in the past and it isn't going to work now. You need cash to make rural broadband work and giving out $5K grants are not going to make it happen.
They also do the same thing the FCC does when measuring if a county has broadband. If 75% of the cities in that county have access and that is where 75% of the people live then its listed as having 75% broadband availability, which was never the problem to begin with. Its those 25% that are having the problems.
Also some of their solutions to the problem are public access points ? So I should just go somewhere else to use the internet, problem solved !
Really they read just like every other lobbying group after tax money. |
