America's Internet Disconnect
By Michael J. Copps
Wednesday, November 8, 2006; Page A27
America's record in expanding broadband communication is so poor that it
should be viewed as an outrage by every consumer and businessperson in
the
country. Too few of us have broadband connections, and those who do pay
too
much for service that is too slow. It's hurting our economy, and things
are
only going to get worse if we don't do something about it.
Where was he on net neutrality? Where was he when AT&T and Bellsouth
merged? Is he just blowin' more smoke? Or did he just wake up from a
six-year slumber?
He was in the 2 person minority on a 5 person commission... he couldn't act.
I suspect that now that their has been a shift of power in Washington, he
will be a more vocal dissent... After all, if the Democrats take the
Whitehouse in 2008, the new president will be appointing a new FCC Chairman.
