Re: To far behind already?
said by rawgerz  :The FCC is either stupid, ignorant, or has other interests. Any of which is not a good mix.. Or maybe they're too swamped in other involvements, it would be nice to see a group dedicated to the broadband issue that is closely watched for bribes and IQ of what they actually are ment for Actually, after seeing Their 'report' with the quote 'The U.S. is doing exceptionally well.', It's obvious they're stupid as hell, unless they based this on country's with OUT any infrastructure But good luck Seems the FCC is all three, rawgerz. I still remember the information super bahn Gore was touting and promised in the early 90s (anyone else remember that?). My area (NJ) was supposed to part of the initial deployment schedules.. Millions on millions were promised 45Mg fiber by 2000 (est. 85M from the site below). NJ, 100% fiber by 2010. All to be paid for (and was) by higher rates, etc.. through deals with the FCC and government agencies that be.
If all that came through as promised, the US was supposed to be the leader in Broadband.
I often wondered what happened with that all.. and came across this site doing some research on it recently. I am not affiliated with them, or anything like that.. But found the background interesting enough to pass on, considering I clearly remember many of the milestones they spoke of. (Even so, the site wants you to buy their book, so take that for what it's worth).
The statement from the FCC just makes me go, "WTF are you talking about?".
Spin it, FCC. Spin it.
