Arrgghhhhh!!!!!
The REAL problem is that the don't accurately count providers. They only
catch the larger ones.
We're NOT behind. Not like some like to claim we are.
Hell, there are at LEAST 3000 wisps out there yet the FCC only has 400 of
them filing the form 477. I'll bet the real number of wisps is north of
6000.
Why doesn't anyone ever talk about how much further ahead we probably are?

Subject: [WISPA] FCC Admits Mistakes In Measuring Broadband Competition
Found this on Slashdot
"For years, plenty of folks (including the Government Accountability
Office)
have been pointing out that the way the FCC
<http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20070205/165735.shtml> measures
broadband
competition is very flawed. It simply assumes that if a single household
in
a zip code is offered broadband by provider A, then every household in
that
zip code can get broadband from provider A. See the problem? For some
reason
the FCC still hasn't changed its ways, but at least they're starting to
realize the problem. They're now saying they need to change
<http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2115154,00.asp> the way they
measure
competition. Commissioner Michael Copps points out: 'Our statistical
methodology seems almost calculated to obscure just how far
<http://techdirt.com/articles/20070418/143208.shtml> our country is
falling
behind many other industrialized nations in broadband availability,
adoption, speed and price.'"
