Re: More Proof Government Broadband is Bad

I'll have to agree with some of this assessment, where I currently live was based on lots of research on the availability of broadband. Had it not been available from multiple carriers I would not of moved where I currently live.

I will agree on some of those forced to live in the boonies due to employment or some other factor, they should have multiple choices for broadband just like those of us living in cities. I'm about to be forced to live in the boonies and it looks like a monopoly on broadband services where I'm at (- satellite of course).

But unlike some other folks I was deployed to Afghanistan for a year and relied on satellite broadband to provide internet. Might not be able to play games but at least lets you keep in touch with folks and hop on the internet for other than latency applications without dial up speeds.
