re: It would be nice to have better and cheaper broadband. Many other things would be nice to. I'd rather the decisions about which of these nice things are bought or invested in be decided by the private sector rather than the government. Even if somehow a massive government investment in broadband would be a good thing (and that is very debateable itself) pushing further down the line of the government directing what gets invested in this country would be a bad thing. Just remember the people making the decisions aren't always going to be the people you agree with. Right now it would be Bush and the Republicans in congress. Do you really want to give them more power? Your first assumption is that I agree with everything in every article I post. I posted it because I though it was an interesting perspective, and addressed it to a person that I thought would be particularly interested. I do agree with one major part of the article. That the priorities of the Bush admin are off base. Bush and congress have plenty of power and they are using it, "more power" isn't the issue. And they are wasting plenty of money and effort that could go to much more productive, and less destructive ends. John
