Re: Abolish the USF. ...Last I checked the government was supposed to represent the people not some rural area politicians or AT&T and Verizon. ...
Using your logic here, the only people in rural areas should be Industrial farms with imported labor as everyone else will need to be in concentrated urban environments where "the majority of constituents" are living...
...So why the hell are decisions being made clearly against the will and well-being of the grand majority of constituents?

| Every choice you make in life will have positive and negative affects. Some you will like, some you will not. However, in the end, it was your choice so you must learn to live with it. |

| It addresses your "concern" about the have's and have not's.
If you choose to live in a place that is not well populated, don't expect services that are equal to those that are.
If you want those services then you have a choice and thus some compromises to make. |

Just as electricity in the 20's was seen as a necessity, so is the proper view of affordable "broadband" Internet access. Whether you recognize this difference is of no matter to the final and proper outcome of ensuring that rural areas have access to at least the minimum considered to be broadband that is also affordable for a population that is far more likely to be poor than those in urban areas.

nobody is expecting to have services that are equal to the ones in the cities. just that they have some sort of broadband internet access that isn't satellite. |

If you review my post from the past you would see I believe these companies should be required to provide fiber to every single user and business in the country and they should do so as a simple dumbpipe. They make plenty of money to do just that and pay cash to do it. Then if they want to provide services on top of that pipe, they do so as a separate company with no benefits offered to the general business public.
However, in this day and age when our government is not willing to "ball up" and you have so many stock jockeys concerned with their short term profits you aren't going to see it any time soon. Especially in rural areas.
Regardless, of all that everyone has a decision to make. If you are rural and can't get the services that you say you "need" then you have 2 choices 1.) Be patient, wait and hope it comes 2.) Move. There is no in between there. You may not like it, you may not accept it. But that is reality so you have no choice but to live with it. |
