The article also accepts without question the idea that
fast internet access is a necessity for all Americans and their
communities - another Bush Administration bit
of rightthink.


Actually this would be more of a liberal idea.
It surprises me that a
Republican administration would buy into this.


Doesn't surprise me at all.

Thanks for posting the link. Anybody besides me and the
original poster actually listen to it?


Hello, Dee

Liberal? Pushing for more money for power companies? Please forgive my
ignorance, but if I follow the money trail, it leads to big
business (monopolies, at that).


Exactly.

Liberal because it is being pushed as every having a "right" to broadband.


I don't hear that in the article at all. What *is* mentioned is
the idea that the town needs it for their economy.

Yes follow the money and it leads to as many liberal business
men as it does conservative ones.


Sorry, Dee, I don't see that at all.

BPL is basically bad science and bad engineering,
pushed by the promise of being a quick "high-tech"
fix. Fits right in with the current administration's
attitude towards science and technology.

The pollution angle alone shows it to be a bad idea.
