U.S. broadband Internet is still horrifically overpriced compared to many other nations (Japan, South Korea, much of Europe). Such a ripoff.

Data caps = censorship. Agreed, we are going backwards compared to the rest of the world. Remember Ted Stevens garbage of how "the internet is a series of tubes". With this type of leadership no wonder we are getting dumber here in the USA.

I call BS on this so-called "rise". With download limits and people losing jobs left and right, may are switching off the Internet, going back to dial-up, or other. That's the real world. To the so-called "author" of this article, why don't you get out "into the field" outside of Silicon Valley or California in general and take a long, hard look at the facts.

Right now, this story you passed on from another source is 100% false.

Funny how the old and poor have no problem getting broadband but they can't figure out that the DTV transisiton was coming?
