MediaCitizen has an article called “Is Cheap Broadband Un-American?” I have decided not to post an oppinion on this issue, at least, not yet. I want an opposing view. So for all my readers, give me your thoughts…
Link.
Update:
Timothy Karr pointed out that ProgressiveTrail.org was not the first group to post this, but that it was originally posted on MediaCitizen, so I have changed the link to point to the original aritcle.
i remember reading something like this befor, all i can say is f#@! laws do what you want, the FCC has no power, boost to ‘illegal’ wattage on your WiMax devices and set up a cheep wireless braudband service.

I’m glad my article, “Is Cheap Broadband Un-American?” is getting such prominent play. It was in the lead slot at SlashDot for most of the day (where it’s received more than 700 comments and 10,000 readers), was posted on Common Dreams, Free Press, at the Progressive Trail and linked to by innumerable blogs. However, I wrote it for In These Times and posted it on my blog MediaCitizen. I appreciate the attention, but it seems these other sites, most of whom carried it without asking permission, are basking in the glow of the tens of thousands of readers who were drawn to my report. Meanwhile, the story as it originated on my blog has received less than 200 unique visitors. I’m a sworn citizen of Lawrence L’s Creative Commons. But somehow I am feeling as though I’ve just been royally screwed.
