Re: how 'bout busting a myth rant?

Using your logic the states should have no problem. The majority of the US population is located in or around major urban centres.
And most of those places have broadband.

Besides there are many towns and cities that are not along the border of the US that have connectivity.
And I am sure there are some other places in bumblehick which don't.

The bottom line is that anyone in the USA who lives near civilization has at least one broadband option. The situation isn't as dire as the article makes it out to be.

Re: how 'bout busting a myth rant?

I dont live way out in the boondocks. Infact the closest cirty with 100+ population(Worcestor, MA) is about 30 minutes away. I live a mile away from the closest cable. My rough estimate is that 30% of this town can get DSL. Do I want broadband, heck yes. Am i entitle to have it, No. Broadband is a nice thing to have. The US is doing fine, and before this all spins off into some anti president Bush argument. Expect broadband to grow alot more, our economy is turning around, jobs are being created, unemployment has dropped.
