Re: What problem... how about this one?
Yeah - but what the heck IS broadband? As the net gets heavier, 1.5mps doesn't cut it anymore - that's like 56k now, because nobody is optimizing their websites for speed anymore. I don't agree that people should be happy "just to have broadband". We should have COMPETITIVE BROADBAND - and when I say competitive, I mean worldwide. Europe is jogging at 10-20mps, Japan has it for FREE at 30+mps, Canada is right next door and they get 10+mps - yet here we are in America; supposedly the most advanced, the most innovative, the richest and most powerful country in the history of the entire Earth - and we can't seem to string a freakin' line across a few miles to give someone broadband internet - and if we do, it's barely 3% of the quality (speed) and ten times more expensive than our competition in another country that totally depends on us to even make enough to put food in the bowl!
We shouldn't be satisfied or happy with that dark reality! It's ludicrous and ridiculous, not to mention ironic. Unfortunately, nothing going to change unless every apathetic American is replaced by a real human and actually DOES SOMETHING... and there's as much chance of that happening as there is for the FCC not toturn down a pay-off... |
