Tell it to the FCC

Today is the first of a series of open workshops hosted by the FCC to gather information from interested consumers on the upcoming Broadband Plan.

"Interested consumers" is us. Now, if we can only get someone to show up that doesn't just represent the telecommunications industry, and those wanting to be sure that people in rural areas are sure to get service.

Both of those interests are certainly valuable, but they are also very well represented. The people who aren't are us - those who spend all day on the computer, have a daily need for fast connection speeds, and who'd benefit immensely in the wealth of ideas and capital that would become available if we as a country had universal, wireless broadband service!

The future is (could be) here now.
