Quote of the Day

I love this quote from Harold Feld's Tales of the Sausage Factory:

More and more, I'm feeling like a volunteer for the “Mark Sanford in 2012 Committee” finding out what “hiking the Appalachian Trail” really means.
What he is talking about is the fact that the broadband stimulus package is being manipulated by the incumbents and the regulators to make it next to impossible for non incumbents to compete.

Basically, the stim money is to go to "unserved" and "underserved" census blocks, but only the incumbent carriers will be able to use the actual broadband penetration to document this, because such data is "proprietary."

Catch-22.
