It's illegal to control everything! The same party who scares you blind about progressives practice Communism.

Get the CIA out of our media, politics, corporations, and banks.

This is an old boys network. This is why they never get convicted.

People in this board don't understand that Buffet has enough moola to takeover Comcast if he wants to.

The Comcast-NBC deal is the indicator if the Obama Administrator is actually going to change anything from the last 30 years of no anti-trust enforcement.

So far, it looks like situation normat, full merging speed ahead.

Maybe Mr. Burke was elected to the board because he is a good businessman?

Governor Sanford of SC emailed his mistress stating internet connection is unreliable at his farm.

Telecommunications/C-Street

Wonder why we can’t compete globally?

Wonder why JAPAN offers the World’s fastest broadband and we do not?

Telecommunications Lobbying created their oligopolies, (monopolies are illegal in USA)

4-3-09-By Saul Hansell

The fastest consumer broadband in the world is the 160-megabit-per-second service offered by J:Com, the largest cable company in Japan.

The cable modem needed for that speed costs about $60, compared with about $30 for the current generation.

By contrast, Verizon is spending an average of $817 per home passed to wire neighborhoods for its FiOS fiber optic network and another $716 for equipment and labor in each home that subscribes, according to Sanford C. Bernstein & Company.

And now the SEC is worried about fast computers?

8 years of this mentality and neglect.

Look at where we are!!!

That is what happens when you have less than 10 % of the opoluation with a passport.

Americans think we are the greatest!

Thomas Friedman said it well-

Retruning from Denmark to US-

Like going from the Jetsons to FLINTSTONES!

Flinstones woud be us!

20 years ago in ASia- everyone had a cell phone!

Yes this is an OLIGOPLOY!

In techonology- 6 months is 'history'

Twelve years- 1995-2007!

What did we get?

Check out the great work C-Street U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering (R-MS) did for the country and the telecommunication industry.

He was the man- the man - for our telecommunications. 1995-2007 12 years!

In the House, Pickering specialized in telecommunications issues, including one dear to Cellular South: making sure Congress took into account the interests of cellular companies serving rural areas.
