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?

Free Online Porn for all!!!!

[King Moonracer]

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

[null and void]

All it costs is $150,000,000.00, and your freedom.

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.

I am wondering, who gets the big money out of this. Internet Solyndra?

[Gen.Blather]

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.

So now they have free internet but no computers.guess what we will be paying for next?

More government/business cronyism. The broadband companies will love it.

More redistribution.

[Sequoyah101]

Stupid me... I thought there was supposed to be a gazillion dollars in the recovery bill for this... I never saw a thing produced from that supposed benefit to rural communities.

[mrsmel]

The better to organise attack mobs for the knockout game, apple-picking, polar bear hunting, etc.

[I want the USA back]

And the recipients will be using the Internet to take online courses, keep informed of world events, stay connected with loved ones, right? they know how to type, read and write English and will use this to better themselves, right?
I hope so, because I’m paying for it.

[dfwgator]

The modern day "Volksempfanger." Of course only certain websites will be accessible.

[SgtHooper]

It is all about getting out the rat voters through freebees and direct communications.

[minnesota_bound]

I remember a few years back when my cable bill was increased $10 to pay for cable for poor people! Both Comcast and Time Warner who want to merge have increased their cable rates to pay for the merger and to buy off politicians.

[Crim]

Poor people need porn too I guess.
