What do you mean? Didn't you get the memo, Time Warner says customers want to pay more and get less. We are just lacking the proper indoctrination education.

Comcast's comments look Ok to me. They don't look like they were designed to help them keep a monopoly in areas they serve.

If you read a little further, you would have seen they had the same goals for "all other cities" and for all rural areas as well in the same timeframe. It was just that they broke down ALL their recommendations in to those 3 categories.

Grinnell, IA | Ah I misunderstood, I would hope the 256 kps is for areas where it is either Dial-Up or Satellite As, If I ever had to use less then what I have now (3 Mb Cable) I'd go crazy! but if all you ever had was Dial Up, then it would be an inprovment |

From »gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/ecfs/retr···20220379
This post is from Marjorie Lundquist, Ph D, a self-proclaimed Bioelectromagnetic Hygienist from Milwaukee.
"If the FCC refuses to inform the Congress that it is unable to develop a plan to accomplish the desired objective of providing 'robust broadband services' to all citizens and business safely, in the absense of needed research into the momentum-transmitting effects of radio-frequency fields, then I will have to conclude that the FCC is functioning within the USA as a terrorist organization and should be reported as such to the Department of Homeland Security, and should be treated as such by that agency!" Thank God for freedom of speech.
EDIT: Even funnier is that she cited all of her own articles and work in the endnotes. Thanks for a great afternoon of laughs, Marjorie! |

256Kbps by 2010 for the 100 Largest Cities?!
Hmmmm?!?
They really know to set the bar high, don't they?
Lowest speed broadband that I see marketed is 768Kbps.
Maybe, they're in a time warp, and are living in 1999. |

| This is an op-ed piece, not a news story.
And it is heavily biased against ISPs. It also fails to note that "Free Press" is not a public interest group at all. It is funded by, and is essentially a lobbying arm of, Google -- a large, monopolistic corporation which invades Internet users' privacy (it reads GMail users' mail and is the largest source of spyware tracking cookies on the Net). |

4 edits | FBI CALEA
The FBI really is pushing hard for CALEA in whatever plan, a 8 page broadband policy report with CALEA being every other word...
Connected Nation report really had me sick, I mean they spend half their report defending themselves from the bad press they have received.
The MPAA one is pretty much what you would expect all about the horrors of piracy, and how we need to make sure ISP's can check users data to make sure they aren't breaking any copyright laws.
The Walt Disney Company; there should be no network neutrality in any plan.
Edit: My bad Connected Nation also have a 100 page report, that basically says most people who don't have broadband don't want broadband, or don't have a computer, while only 14% say not available in their area. |
