kudos:4 | RE: FCC Scammed Out Of Millions In Telco Scam The former employees said their role in defrauding the FCC led to a total loss of between $2.5 million and $7 million.
More of the USF dollars down the drain. The FCC caught this, but how much have they missed? They really have to do a better job auditing the various USF funds for fraud. | |

| The FCC Wants You to Test Your Broadband Speeds This is a step in the right direction I think, as an effort to determine what areas have broadband, and which don't. However, it's lacking in some ways, failing to address a few things:
Caps
Some ISPs have caps. If the limit is ridiculously low, such as 5GB per month, it shouldn't count.
Actual Availability
Not everyone subscribes to the maximum tier available to them. | |

| Re: The FCC Wants You to Test Your Broadband Speeds Isn't there the opposite problem? That is, people with limited broadband will be lumped in with people who have access to higher broadband speeds.
Most of the people living on my street have access to broadband at higher tiers than I or a handful of my neighbors do. Those of us at the outer limits of DSL (which, besides satellite or mobile broadband, is the only high speed internet available to us), will get lumped in with those HIGHER speeds . . . even though said speeds are NOT available to us (and probably won't be for some time to come). | |

Canonsburg, PA | Re: AT&T CEO Calls For 'Light Touch' Regulations The U.S. has had "Light Touch" Regulations for over a decade now and just keeps falling further and further behind other developed countries in part because of AT&T's unwillingness to invest more in broadband expansion no matter what the regulations say. Of course if AT&T had at least a couple of real competitors everywhere then we wouldn't have to rely on regulations so why don't we just get rid of the regulations that enforce the high cost of entry into the telecommunications industry and limit competition first. | |

The goverment already know who you are, Yeah, so? And I should provide them with this info so they can know my precise location without a court order?
They should ask for a zip code. Not a full address. And this applies to other people as well. I'd like to know why they need my full address, including any possible suite / apartment number. Once you provide this info, they're never going to get rid of it.
