    Believe me guys, I hate it as well and I'm only 15 minutes South of their coverage area. I just hope like hell it's a big hit and they've made it easily expandable because I'd be all over that when and if I can.

    I think that's just talking about the KC area but not certain.

    Yeah I couldn't tell. Oh well gave my address and e-mail to keep me up-to-date. I pay way more than that now than Google's "super" package.

    See, this shit REALLY pisses me off. Because of these fuckin' companies that have a god damn stranglehold on parts of the US, this shit will NEVER be what it should be. The US is a fuckin' third world country in the internet race compared to countries like Japan and Korea. It's REALLY god damn sad.

    Hell, broadband internet has been made a constitutional RIGHT for all citizens, both natural and foreign, in Finland.

    Actually, as much as I'd love to blame this on the free market, it's been my opinion for a while that the problem is that we spent so much time/effort/resources on our existing infrastructure, that ripping up that infrastructure and replacing it with a new technology will be prohibitively expensive. Same problem with gas stations vs hydro/electric cars and trains vs high-speed rail.

    Part of it is, we never invested in our own infrastructure like we should have been because we allow people with millions and billions of dollars to hire lobbyists who just look out for the people with all the money's interests instead of what's best for the country.

    We rely on crude oil because those companies are lining the pockets of pretty much everyone with a say in how shit works. We allow electrical companies to have monopolies because they're filling the right people's pockets. We are slaves to the monopolies in the US and there's really nothing that can be done about it. Capitalism has allowed that to be the case and the government has made it that much worse with the decision that a company's money is a form of freedom of speech. I swear it's getting close and close to Idiocracy.
