  1. Considering we're posting on an internet message board, and Ma Bell and her stooges are dead set on trying to piecemeal and ultimately kill the Internet as we know it, this is a rather apt topic for discussion, IMO: Article Folks--this crap needs to stop, and stop fast. It shouldn't matter if you're wanting to access Netflix, Playboy.com, or Huskerboard.com--they should all have the same, unfettered, fast-as-possible-always service. And the infrastructure costs to make this happen are a mere drop in the bucket for Telecom companies--but these costs are being used as a smokescreen so Telco can gouge companies like Google, Netflix, etc. for extra money. In short, Internet in the 21st century is a utility, not unlike water or electricity. But there's not as much profit in utilities as there is for being a service provider, hence their attempts to nickel and dime customers to death.
  2. All-- If you're tired of poor options for internet providers, internet usage caps, the lack of true high-speed internet (especially compared to other first-world countries), or you know someone (or are yourself) in our more rural areas of the country with no options whatsoever (does satellite really count as an option in this day and age?), then sound off to the FCC directly: http://www.gamepolitics.com/2012/08/24/fcc-seeks-public-comment-broadband-speeds-and-data-caps Your submission will need to be written in a word processing application and converted to PDF. If you're unsure how to phrase what you want to say, click the link 'search for proceedings' on the left-hand side, and do a search on proceeding 12-228, and you can view the public submissions to date. No, I don't expect miracles from this, but if you've ever been mad about your lack of options, speeds, plans, or caps associated with broadband coverage, then sound off.
