I attended the meeting this morning on broadband summit with Genachowski. I was glad I attended. I walked away with a sinking feeling about this guy. Rolling out broadband will cost hundreds of billions of dollars, he said. I think he's locked onto fiber optic cable, and we'll all have to pay more. The sinking moment came when he proclaimed that more people need to sign up for the pathetic services now offered, and then corporate thugs will decide the demand is there to build out. More of the same corporate talk. This guy has spent way too much time in closed door meetings without public input. Most of the audience submitted questions, and Klobuchar presented a token number to the panel. Sure wish we had less double talk and more activism in the FCC. Oh, and he also brought up a study of 40 countries. We ranked 6th for something, and 40th for broadband (true broadband) speed. Now, I don't know about you, but that would put us behind a whole lot of Third World countries, wouldn't it? So, how do they do that, and have citizens paying a fraction of what we're paying. Genachowski actually believes we all will have to pay more, before true broadband will be competitively offered. I'm sick. Did anyone else come away with a different impression? Tom
