Re: Mapping said by morbo:No, the onus is on YOU to DEFEND this shitty mapping proposal owned and crafted by AT&T. I asked a simple question that people can't/won't answer. I don't need to defend anything. I'll ask you the same question as ropeguru  and digitalfreak , what is your proposal?said by morbo:How is it in the public interest to send $350 million to AT&T? Where did you get that from? How is AT&T getting $350M for broadband mapping?said by morbo:We know their financial interests are to lie and claim that the country is fully wired for broadband. I don't understand this claim. AT&T only stands to gain more $$ from grants, subsidies, and USF-like slush funds to continue wiring the country if President Obama's administration is truly sincere about wiring the US.said by morbo:This proposal would be worse than what we're doing now as it will create an air of legitimacy to the lies being spewed by telco and cableco PR departments. You're right, long live mapping by zip code where the US is nearly 100% connected with broadband  |
