Wrote "The nationwide LightSquared network, consisting of approximately 40,000
cellular base stations, will cover 92 percent of the U.S. population by 2015
You can make book the missing 8 percent will be areas that exclude the farmers
and ranchers who provide our food but the left will make sure the always
“financially challenged” in the slums will have it and probably for free.
The proof? In every state in the US there is something called a universal
service fee on your phone bill. This is usually 35 to 45 cents. It is not
optional. The purpose of that fee is modeled after the postal system that
charges you the same amount whether one sends a letter 2 miles or 2,000 miles
so that everyone can economically communicate.
By law the phone companies are given that money to provide the rural areas with
the same services that are offered in urban areas. This includes broadband DSL
and TV services. It has never happened and probably won’t as we seem to have
the best politicians money can buy. I’m a conservative and I have lived in two
rural areas now and the story is the same. AT&T continues to send me glowing
adverts for bundled phone service only. When I lived in a large town they came
door to door trying to sign people up for broadband and the regularly sent
glowing adverts in my phone bill to sign up for bundled phone, DSL broadband,
and TV.
This explains while they kept the lights on continuously at the Dallas Cowboy
stadium for the superbowel, they had 15 minute rolling blackouts to all the
area hospitals, nursing homes and elder care facilities where residents rely on
continued electrical service for their oxygen concentrators and assisted
breathing devices.
