| TheRealMafoo said: Oh the topic of government takeover of internet.... In the small town I live close too, 5 years ago we got 5mbit service, a few years ago we got 20, this year, we got 40. If the government had put in that 5mbit line, we would be stuck with it for another 10 years most likely. As for me, I live in the middle of nowhere, so my choices are limited. I pay $70 a month for a wireless 3mbit connection. If I didn't want that, the next best option for me is a 256k DSL. The down side of living in the country, but it's fast enough for Netflix. |
Not takeover, just prodding. Say if you want to provide broadband, either stick to these standards or get out of the industry. Ultimately internet is something even my borderline-communist thinking isn't entirely comfortable with government providing, as i like the auspices of competition there (also with television)
