Will Stimulus Stimulate Wireless?

What a load of BS and waste of tax dollars! People in locations where it's currently available are beginning to view broadband as a luxury item and eliminating it. These people who don't need tremendous bandwidth are going back to dial-up. Note the recent increase in AOL subscribers.

Dumping billions to create jobs in industries that will fail unless the economy is fixed first. Stupid!

"President Obama are you listening?"

If you want to create jobs, 1st focus on the outsourcing.

1) Restrict the power within labor unions. Greedy unions plus cheap foreign labor drive the need to outsource.

2) Use the billions towards tax incentives for encouraging domestic manufacturing. Create jobs by moving them back inside the US. Yes, these jobs truly suck, but someone needs to do them. Might as well give them to the unemployed.

This weak economy will require companies to downsize. Keeping corporations floating with govenment money will sandbag the economy and take "everyone" down with the ship. Seems to be common sense to me. Anyone else agree?

Seems pretty obvious to me. Wired and/or wireless broadband are getting more expensive, not less, as its reach broadens. I'm sure the providers are salivating over the stimulus money funding their minimally legislated price structuring.

Net Zero has a pretty hefty campaign going on to lure people back to dial-up. They claim US$300 annual savings in net access.

I can believe this as my broadband cable bill marches inexorably upward. As I face retirement and fixed income, I may have to revert.
