And again, he suggests starting with fixing the FCC's botched data collection methodology. You can't shape telecom policy if you don't know the "reality on the ground."

Copps is a little too wishy-washy for me on many votes, and I think his tersely worded pdfs on the FCC website are always too little, too late.

But, I think calling what the FCC is doing now (pandering to corporate interests, aka nothing) a "process" seems generous.

I find your commentary about being concerned about "solutions" disingenuous, considering the current policy is simply to do absolutely nothing.
Sorry Karl, but I agree with him.

"Put up or shut up" is my mantra. If you don't like what I am doing, then show me a better way and be prepared to defend your position. Can't speak for anyone else, but I like making suggestions as long as they don't "throw out the baby with the bathwater."

He's repeatedly suggested that revising data collection methodology is the first step, so we can understand the width and depth of the problem.

Maybe I should find some quotes in the bible that say not having broadband is a sin or not christian or gods will. Run a smear campaign and hire a televangelist, im sure Bush will be forced to pass a mandatory broadband to 100% of USA law or he will lose the Divine Right to rule. Remember you can prove anything from the bible.

At least one FCC member has the guts to point out the problem.

If you want to send him an email encouraging him to make changes, go here:
»www.fcc.gov/commissioners/copps/mail.html
Then also ask him what the solutions are? In his editorial he admits he has none - except for maybe spending lots of tax dollars with no plan on where the money would go. Pointing out problems is easy - pointing out solutions seems to be beyond him.
