 Maybe MS just doesn't agree with Brodsky's opinion

Just maybe MS doesn't agree with Brodsky's opinion of Connected Nation. And just maybe they have a more accurate ability to assess what Connected Nation is doing or plans to do - you know being on the board and all and not just an outside agitator.

 They probably figure they can exercise a measure of control over Connected Nation by investing in them. However it's pretty apparent that Connected Nation paints a rosy picture of US Broadband access and availability. As I figure it, MS wants more broadband penetration, but probably doesn't want regulations that could affect their long term market plans.

DOH. Of course. So obvious I didn't see it right in front of me.
