I don't determine quality of service available--neither do you.
Providers determine that. They also decide where and what kinds of
services they offer. As long as companies decide that nobody lives
here and don't provide service for us, we're stuck with the minimum.

If telecoms want to up their legendary status of customer no service, being

Are you not making a strong case for nationalizing the telecoms?
No. I don't think so, anyway. But that's one solution. The telco has
been nationalized in the past. It hardly hurt anyone and it benefitted
rural areas. That was universal service. As long as it was, pardon me,

No. But technically DSL is a badly flawed technology from an
economic standpoint. It requres the maintenance of a copper
network which is very, very expensive. And becoming more so
because most of these facilities are nearing or past the end of their
service life.
Well, they could talk about technologies that aren't widely available
to the general public. I'd be happy to discuss high bandwidth
solutions...That's not exactly their mission, though. It's a fact
that they aren't going to discuss what I offer. It's way too
expensive for anyone but big

So I wouldn't throw away that old compass just yet.
No, I wouldn't either. And I don't figure that most people have
completely lost their minds as far as their best interests are concerned.
Evidence to the contrary.

Computing has changed from an activity done while stationary to
mobile computing. Devices have had to evolve.
