Re: how 'bout busting a myth rant?
If Americans didn't want it, the number of subscriptions wouldn't be growing as much as it has. It'd be shrinking or be fairly stagnant right? Verizon probably wouldn't even bother with their FIOS service yet (though, FIOS can and does provide other services other than pure internet access.) People wouldn't be voting to put in fiber in their own communities if they were satisfied. People simply aren't satisfied with the money they are paying for the service they are getting. You may disagree that a government based solution is the right one but you can't dismiss that people have voted for it in their respective communities. There are simply too many benefits for faster broadband that we shouldn't or even can't ignore. While I don't expect your opinion to change over a simple forum reply, I do think you should think from the other side of things. |
