Broadband access bandwagon [updated]


The Plain Dealer’s editorial from today.

Left of Ohio flagging this MSM report.

Update: Bill Callahan on the PD’s editorial, plus other insight.

What, if any, impact does the passage of SB117 have on this need? (yes, Bill, I mean you)

    If the experience in other states is any guide, some places that already have AT&T ADSL will get faster VDSL (U-Verse), and then places that have both AT&T U-Verse and digital cable will start seeing bigger-bandwidth competition. Elsewhere (in non-AT&T areas, AT&T areas not targeted for U-Verse, etc.) SB 117 will change nothing — except that some low-income places may be abandoned by their cable providers altogether. Oh, and communities will start losing their fiber I-nets and other franchise services.

    Ok – so I’m being skipped over for UVerse but still have whatever AT&T offers that it got by buying sbcglobal. This is it, for me? Even though the UVerse thing is available all around me?
