Slanted article

This article is exceedingly slanted. The "consumer advocates" cited in it -- a DC lobbying group called "Public Knowledge" -- is well known to be heavily supported by GoogleClick, a large and unethical corporation, and to be lobbying for regulation of the Internet in ways that favor that corporation.

What's more, small carriers as well as large ones favor Connected Nation's mapping practices, which avoid the disclosure of proprietary data that could enable anticompetitive practices.

Don't know what planet you live on but every small carrier I know (I work for one) is not very happy with this. Their practices are very slanted to the big carriers.

While Brett apparently enjoys speaking for all small ISPs nationwide, the small ISPs I've spoken to in Kentucky (where Connected nation boldly proclaims they've almost reached 100% coverage) say Connected Nation in part exists to ensure small carriers don't get state funding.
