 I'd be very interested in what folks here think of this:

I think it's a news.com.com.com URL, and therefore most likely not
very worth opening, much less reading.

I'm very interested in why you didn't bother at least summarizing
the story as a general courtesy to folks here.

Sorry...I didn't realize that was the protocol.


From the article:
"We already have our highway system and our electricity. Time has come for our broadband. It's a utility. We now need broadband to live, work, recreate and even make a profit. Whether in Palo Alto, Calif., or Cavalier, N.D., we need our broadband. Many local areas of America are attacking the need for broadband ubiquity, but perhaps it's time for a national program."
