Re: Is is true that 92% of us can order Cable Internet? said by Karl Bode:Before we spend billions or do anything -- we need to seriously map who has service -- and who does not. That would take a considerable amount of coordination and assistance from the cable/telco industries. The information coming from them would have to be audited to help ensure accuracy. And the end result of all their hard work would most certainly have a negative impact on their business and possibly get them into trouble after "exposing" their footprint, at least with regards to public opinion.
Any semi-legitimate map would have to survive the usual gauntlet of lobbyists lining the paths of our politicians' careers.
Here's to hope. |
