said by ieolus :The government (whether Federal, State, or Local) does quite well providing universal services to the citizens. It is pure right-wing bullshit to say what you said. Hehe... It's hilarious to me to see all of these fools complaining about the FCC, a government entity, and then in the next breath calling for the government to run a nation-wide network for Internet. Does it not strike you how ridiculous that sounds?
The same socialists cry and whine about the lack of "competition" and then beg the govnerment to take care of everything. So we go from at least some competition (the extent of which is debatable) to a single-entity as pathetically inefficient as the government running the 'net. "Shut down the corporations!" they say.
Maybe I'm alone in not wanting the govnerment to control internet, phone, video, etc. Where did all of the bitching about privacy go?
You can't have it both ways...
