Poor people should get slower internet speeds, American ISPs tell FCC

Kieren,

You continue your campaign of uniformed attempts to smear all broadband providers with the same brush as the large providers. You should attend some of the WISPA events where you would meet many of the small providers and individuals bringing broadband to rural areas and competing in urban and suburban areas. The next event is March 19-21'st in Cincinnati, Ohio. Show up and you will find plenty of people delivering broadband that have just as much contempt for the Cable and Phone companies as you do.

The WISPA meeting was about keeping the FCC from throwing even more subsidy money at the same ILEC's and RBOC's that have utterly failed to deliver broadband. The FCC subsidy money is WHY we don't have good rural broadband from the ILEC's and RBOC's - it's throwing good money after bad. That WISPA wants to protect the small companies that are investing their own money from the FCC throwing more cash at the failed LEC's should not be a surprise and it's something you and The Register should be supporting, not trashing.
