So where is the Edwards Tech Voters Guide?

What no support for a Populist? Is he too anti corporate for this site? Shame on c/Net!

End of sarcasm.

Higher Broadband Penetration?

Geez at least he got off of the "digital divide" bandwagon, I'm sure just for an instant.

The reason why there's high penetration of POTS is because AT&T was subsidizing local connections via exorbitant business and long distance fees. Now with VoIP and competition for long distance a rate-differentiation subsidy isn't going to work. So instead to get his idea to work Obama must mean a DIRECT subsidy to broadband providers like AT&T and Comcast. Awesome, those companies BADLY need more benefits from Washington. Experience would sure be handy, wouldn't it?
