I think...This is just the beginning of a row of dominoes. Except this particular row of dominoes is one you don't want to fall over. | |

Honest government?hahahaha
Amazing that the judges are so blatant in their greed for kickbacks. Wonder how much connected nation paid the judges for the contract? 5% of the profits? 10%? Unlimited supply cocaine and hookers? and of course hush money to the people who knew about the kickbacks, assuming they were not simply fed to the sharks. | |

I still don't get the point...I still don't get the point as to why our tax dollars will be used to map broadband in this country???
What benefit do we get from mapping broadband?
Also ISPs already have this map data, so why doesn't the government just pass a rule that they have to hand over the data for free? | |

said by r81984:I still don't get the point as to why our tax dollars will be used to map broadband in this country??? I agree, we should require the existing ISPs to provide the data. said by r81984:What benefit do we get from mapping broadband? There is a law that says the FCC shall do something to improve competition if data shows a non-competitive market. That law has been ignored since it passed, because the FCC uses worthless data to declare "competition is robust! everywhere!". The incumbents love this and don't want the govt or anyone else to be able to prove there is no real competition in 90% of the country. said by r81984:Also ISPs already have this map data, so why doesn't the government just pass a rule that they have to hand over the data for free? because the govt is owned by the companies that don't want this data made public. Connected Nation is the industry shill that will ensure bogus data "proves" competition exists (everywhere!) and allow everyone to pretend things are great | |

Re: Pennsylvania has broadband mapedThat's pretty cool, not entirely accurate from what I'm seeing here since they don't seem to differentiate from "future" (which is anything but concrete here) and current. Still, impressive for local gov. | |

Questions for 2010I hate the idea of monkeying with the census, but why not add a few questions such as:
1) Do you subscribe to an internet service provider at your primary residence? Yes/No
2) If "Yes," which type of internet provider do you use?
a) FIOS (fiber optic) b) Cable (copper) c) DSL/T1 d) Wireless (cell phone, air card) e) Satellite (Hughesnet, Wildblue, etc.) f) Dialup g) Other
3) If you do not subscribe to an internet service at your primary residence, what is the reason?
a) No providers in my area b) It's too expensive c) I have internet access at work, school, etc. d) Not interested
Just a thought and I'm sure it could be worded better, but at least you'd get an honest survey. | |

Re: Questions for 2010Seems like a smart idea to me.
Although the Census may already be "set in stone," if you will. I heard a lot of the prep work for it is already done. | |

You forgot:
2. b) Are you happy with the service provided with regard to the cost? | |

Nothing good will come of this.They'll spend millions to "map" broadband, then claim the solution is to funnel more tax payer money to the incumbents, and then they'll pronounce everything as "Good" and done.
Read my tagline! | |
