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

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.
