Opposite of what AT&T wants is what country needs

Next February the FCC will present a national broadband plan and if it's the exact opposite of what AT&T wants it will be wildly successful and envied by the rest of the world. Let's hope our bought and paid for leaders realize that the cost of turning our nation into a third world country just for the sake of short term profits is way too high.

But turning the USA into third world communications wise is the goal. In the Soviet Union nobody except Party Members/Managers and law enforcement had phones at home. 25 year waiting list for civilians. You don't want people to communicate among each other, dangerous things happen. All communications should be 1-way and centrally administered.

Precisely. But alas, the words of Menken (never overestimate...) ring all too loudly in my ears even if hope springs eternal!
