BBR would have more credibility...

...if it didn't constantly try to stick this solely to the telcos.

Has Karl not noticed that Google, MSFT, and other tech companies fund similar groups (savetheInternet, among others)?


URWRONG

@verizon.net

You are 100 percent wrong. STI takes ZERO industry money. Free Press' foots the bill for all activities related to STI, and they take ZERO industry money. Free Press and STI have not received one thin dime from Google, Microsoft, or any other corporation or private business. It's a point of pride for them.

Get your facts right pal.

You've missed the point.

Doesn't it make sense to you that technology companies would fund technology advocacy groups?

No, the strange shilling that BBR is discussing here would happen when BigTechCompany donated money to the National Federation for the ThreeLegged, and then later you saw the National Federation of the ThreeLegged speak in support of adding H1B Visas for technology companies.

Ummm.... BBR. BroadBand Reports.... Not "OS Opinions" or "Website Galleria" or something else... Who provides Broadband? And Karl isn't above skewering the Cable Companies for their anti-consumer moves, as well.
