So let's see if we can figure this out... we raise the price of broadband by taxing it, so that we can make it more affordable for everyone.

Ok.

[Don Corleone]

Snowe is NOT a RINO...she is an out and out PROGRESSIVE and must be dethroned.

[JerseyHighlander]

IDK the whole situation, I do know that broadband access in the vast majority of Maine is horrendous, most people can only get maximum service of single pair DSL.

I live in a rural area, and I would be TOTALLY against this!

[WellyP]

No Snowe November 2012! Crush this stupid BI-CH!

[VR-21]

I wonder if she toasts herself in the mirror for being so altruistic with other peoples money. I swear most American politicians and bureaucrats don’t have the moral stature of the most common muggers, prostitutes and dope peddlers in our private sector.

What’s wrong with satellite internet ? Other than the fact that you have to pay for it yourself ?

[CastleMan95]

She calls it a “fee”? Thats pretty funny. Under no reasonable definition is this a fee. Its a TAX! If you couldn’t tell, it irks me when any politician tries to hide a tax by calling it a fee. It’s so dishonest and par for the course.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Gee, this goes a long way to convincing me she is a moderate.

[Blood of Tyrants]

I hate SOBs that think that EVERYTHING is a “right”. NO ONE has a right to what I earn except my spouse and minor children!

I remember the day when if you couldn't afford a telephone line, you did without it.

Today, with the "Progressives"; if your neighbor can afford it, YOU should get it at someone elses' expense (via confiscation through taxation of those who have worked for what they own).

It's ALL about "OBAMA MONEY.....FROM HIS STASH!"

[AdamBomb]

before you bash this idea, What snowe is proposing is access to unfettered political opinion that is not filtered by the main stream media.

In other words, giving the “poor” access to drudge, free republic and other non-traditional media may help the conservative cause.

True, I’m not for subsidizing it, but could this be a case that leads to a complete dismantling of the traditional press and media delivery system in our country?

Telecommunications Act was all about when it was created in 1934 was to extend the basic communication service to all.”

So I guess we should find folks who don’t have basic telecommunications (PHONES) and run a line out to em!
Internet is not basic communication!

Thanks.

Time to switch parties, you dim bulb.

I don't want to think about a 51/49 majority with the Ditz Sisters of Maine in the US Senate. We might just as well be in the minority with these two *ssclowns in office...
