Is this a great country or what! Free access for some folks to further hack and scam and lie, cheat and steal, paid for out of the o'bama stash. Well it is free right?

Now the local drug dealers will be able to source customers with ease, just like those Silk Road elitists.

Does this include the rural areas? ...or just the inner cities?

In a very short time in this country, if you’re not going to be very rich, you’re better off being poor.

When the internet was newer a friend raised capital and started up an ISP. He was doing great until the city of Tallahassee decided that everybody should have free internet. The public free ISP ran him out of business.

I don’t know if it still exists as Comcast became an ISP and pretty much sewed up the market. I’d think that Comcast could not have grown their market if the city was still giving away free access.

It's time to get right with God, people. Obviously the goal is to create as many government dependents as possible. God has told us straight up that He is a jealous God. He wants us to depend on Him. Nobody else.

It won’t be long before po folk will be living right next to you in your lily white neighborhood. Gov’t could easily require you to take off the security on your server so these new neighbors can really have high-speed internet.

I'm afraid that time has already arrived.
