[SATLUG] RoadRunner Rubbish

[Luis Garza]

I believe that PBS had a special on this last week.

They were talking about after the breakup of Ma Bell, the baby Bells asked
for a monoply in their coverage area and a tax break in return for
providing a fast infrastructure for the internet.  Basically they took the
tax breaks and pocketed the money and failed to provide the fiber
infrastructure.

They pointed out the Asia and Europe have a faster infrastructure while
the US strives to provide the cheapest thus slowest service.
