I don’t…
From the “Wireless Industry’s Daily Monitor” (which ought to say “something.”);
FCC: 98% of U.S. has choice of 3 carriers
“According to the FCC’s annual wireless competition report, 98 percent of Americans in 2006 had three or more carrier options, while 94 percent had four or more carriers to choose from. The number of counties with […]

Well, that’s when they would have been published if history had dictated it… (is Hawaii a bit out of sync timewise?)
Grant Gross obviously has no idea that Scott Cleland is a paid shill for the Telcos, not a critic - wake up Grant.

Putting those three words in the same sentence ought to earn you… a night in purgatory or something similar. That is almost the same as putting “Scott Cleland” “Net Neutrality” and “Truth” together.

Can anyone tell me, since I wasn’t in attendance, how Scott Cleland was received at the University of San Francisco Net Neutrality Symposium? “All accusations and assertions and little argument or accuracy?” SCOTT! You’re never going to be President so stop making things up whilst denying reality outright! Oh, sorry… that’s a prerequisite, isn’t it?

A number of folks don’t think Google will be bidding or will be bidding to win in the FCC’s 700 Mhz auction. I think this article from Reuters out of Davos offers us some insight…

Doesn’t that headline grab your interest? First thoughts? Its about time eh? Second thought? They’ve finally used some of that $200 billion the gov. handed them years ago…

Suppose “WE” Became A Threat?
Oh how I absolutely love Joel Johnson’s speaking out on “The Hugh Thompson Show!”
During the ensuing comments, Noen says;
“Your privacy is an illusion. And while Joel did good I don’t think that AT&T is too worried about him or even about BoingBoing. They have the administration and congress bending over backwards just for them. We […]

The Proposed Caps On Bandwidth
The Proposed Caps On Bandwidth are bullshite!
Hat tip to The EFF. Did you know that: “the wholesale price to Time Warner for 40gb for a month amounts to about $3.”
“While the cable industry suggests the move is to recoup costs incurred by heavy users, the low caps they’ve got planned (ranging from 5 to 40GB) […]

Check this out - a Digg type FCC site - and, once again, our friend Scott has forgotten the common sense fact that the Telcos have a $200 billion hand-out with which to improve the infrastructure and allow for higher bandwidth usage.

I’m going to imagine that almost every citizen is well aware of the economic talk of pending recession in the United States. Really, you’d no doubt have to live in a very deep, dark cavern not to know of the “other shoe” that’s about to drop.
Yet, simultaneously, billions of dollars are being tossed around the […]

Two news items appear separate and unrelated…
Put them together and allow your mind to wander.

Precisely what folks like Scott Cleland want you to pay attention to, I suppose…
“CNET has a great article: New Hampshire voters: Net Neutrality? Huh? that exposes what we all know — that net neutrality is a niche special interest issue that is not at all on the minds of average Americans.”
Oh, now, please… “the American […]
