Pacific Northwest shows why America needs universal broadband
The Center for Creative Voices in Media released a study entitled The Case for Universal Broadband in America: Now! last week that makes a key conclusion: broadband Internet access is a necessity for future, sustainable growth in this country. Bush's lofty 2004 "goal" of universal broadband in America by 2007 remains unmet like most of his other "goals" that make for great traditional media sound bites but are not actually administration priorities.
It is pleasantly noted that the report, which uses real people and their stories as examples, cites multiple instances here in the Pacific Northwest (2 examples from Oregon) where access to broadband leads to economic success both personally and collectively. We are proud that this region continues to act as a vanguard in this movement, setting the example that can be instantiated throughout the entire country with the help of responsible leadership. But we still have a long way to go.

Nice theory you have there Garlin, but unfortunately, it is innacurate due to these things called "facts".
Mayhaps you have heard of them?
You should go look up HR3678 and see what the Pelosi crew want to do to this "universal broadband" idea you so dearly love.
They want to tax the hoo-haw out of it, just like they do the phones, and the cable and the you name it utilities.
Can't go offering everyone free "universal broadband" and still collect taxes, now can you?
Personally, I'd love it. Your Democratic fellow travellers on the other hand, want to squeeze every blood red cent from that turnip.
