Land O Lakes, FL | The Broadband Embargo Remember a little thing in the mid 1970's called "an oil embargo"? This is the same thing. The RBOC's stopped trying to advance DSL when they collectively decided it was unfair and had their stooges write Tauzin/Dingle. Those on remote terminal technology and those that could benefit are quite simply screwed. The FCC is either on the take or just too stupid to see what is really going on.
"According to Link Hoewing, assistant vice president of Internet and technology policy at Verizon, "[Deregulation] policies were designed for the telephone market, not broadband....."
I would like to corner this idiot for the complete breakdown on how this is so. Every time you talk to someone in Verizon about DSL deployment you get many different and even conflicting excuses. The best I heard was "the FCC won't let us deploy to remote terminals". My first thought was that's a lie. My second was obviously when did Verizon start obeying the FCC. |
