    The US is already backwards and low tech

    Wht stop our falling behind now? If the government cared about the US and the internet they would allow municiple broadband wireless. As it is we have to go through monopolies to get slow service.

    The US doesn't get the good cars, the good cell phones, or the good internet connections. Things are going to get worse before they get better.
