Re: Copps wants bigger USF; I say kill it
said by DonLibes  :said by rileyjam514 :I say, to start, we ought to cut off USF funding for telcos and cablecos that have chosen not to wire rural areas. These rural areas are the ones that are supposed to be benefitting the most from the USF and they are seeing nothing instead. You choose not to do what you said you would do, so we aren't going to pay you. Period. From an environmentalist point of view, USF should be killed outright. USF (when it works) encourages sprawl. You want to live in an isolated area - pay the price for it, the full price. The days are long since gone when this country needs to encourage exploration of its undeveloped areas. So, according to you, people should just pack up and move, to pay a lower price for broadband? Wow, just, wow. | |

If broadband price is more important to you than your other reasons for living where you do, then yes. | |

You want better security, move to a gated apartment complex, an apartment building with full time doormen and restricted access, or a gated, restricted access community. You want better schools, move to an area that has better schools. You want a better job, then move to an area that is economically vibrant. You want a better commute, move to an area closer to your work.
When I moved 3 1/2 years ago, I specifically looked for an apt complex that had a gate, was close to the freeway for my commute and had DSL, Cable and a Southern view for Satellite. I didn't sit on my ass whining about what I expected others to "give" me.
