Obama’s Broadband Stimulus Reveals ISP Hypocrisy
Internet service providers always claim rising network maintenance costs to justify high prices, slow speeds, lousy coverage, and onerous restrictions on your Internet access. And yet, here they are refusing to take Obama’s $4.7 billion broadband stimulus package, now admitting they’re actually flush with cash. Apparently, they don’t like the net neutrality conditions that come with the package.
What a bunch of hypocrites. Liar, liar, fiber on fire.
