Re: Title Is Wrong lol - St Paul and Minneapolis are going to be one in the same.. both served by Qwest and Comcast and the offerings are the same. Add in any other provider and none of them are really comparative to up the ante on faster speeds.. thus, St Paul and Mpls are one in the same in this case.
As for "getting money" for these mapping projects... give me $1,000 and I'll look up the operating ISPs in the state, call them up, ask them for their speeds and have out an Excel spread sheet in a few days.. what's so hard about this? .. I don't see the need to spend and WASTE millions of dollars to find out information that can actually be had for free.
Oh, wait...that's right, this is money spent to "stimulate the economy" right?? am I right?  I also love it.. the government needs to know if it needs to "ramp up competition"... it's not the government's job to decide if IT needs to "ramp up competition".. it's job is to ensure competition CAN happen, make sure the rules are set correctly (with out asking the foxes guarding the hen house, the idiots) and get the hell out of the way and "let" competition happen.. The government doesn't make competition.. it sets the rules for competition to happen. No discussion needed. But, maybe if the government WANTS to have a "discussion" it should stop trying to fool itself and thinking it's "having a discussion" when they're only talking to the very people they should be leaving out of the "discussion".. like AT&T, Verizon, Comcast, and Time Warner.. they're already in the mix.. it's time to talk to other people.. stop the narcissism from corporate head-cases now!
I really wonder sometimes how this government can honestly operate with it's collective head up it's collective ass. |
