There's a problem with this argument

The article states that in many cases the group goes to rural or under served areas and pitches broadband as a way to improve various situations. However, it then goes on to say that instead of pitching a CLEC or local ISP, they are pitching Bell South DSL. The reality of the situation is that there probably isnt a local ISP or CLEC in Bumblefork Kentucky, so the argument holds no water.

Hate to disagree but I disagree. Most of the areas do have local ISP's but Connect Kentucky would still push the Bell's. Don't know where Bumblefork kentucky is at is that close to Sorryweain'tuptosnuff New York?

Man, I'm sure sick of hearing BFE or "Bumblefork" Kentucky...those who say that have obviously never been here.

When did I ever say I had been there?? I simply pointed out that in some cases there is no local alternative to Bell and that its not some huge conspiracy that Kentucky Connect recommends them. What part of that is hard to understand??
