Re: Windstream DSL Investigation: South Carolina Just my thoughts. I would continue state by state. First both the consumer protection people and the news listen closer. It's a home town type of story for a station that does a whistle blowing segment or likes that type of news.
I think the next one will probably be as hard as 1st on was to organize. But the third and so forth will have it easier at least with the media. Point the the other states. Someone will pick it up national. My experience bringing things to the national media has been zero. I understand why, more so now, since a couple corporations own nearly all the media, those at the top at Windstream would be considered piers and you don't rat out piers.
Local stories I have had about 50/50 success on stories much less than this (how many effected).
I worked in TV a lot time at the engineer dept, but you learn how the others operate and still watch a fair share of national, cable and local news, a bad habit, lol. For the last 10 years and some, the new works are owned as I said above. They avoid news that isn't comfortable for the owners and their friends. But it something starts going viral on twitter, and or Facebook, then a few blogs, showing how many states have covered this on local news, it slowly becomes more and more mainstream. But seriously I doubt it gets covered nationally unless you can tie this to other ISPs (which you can).
The state level will get things done.
