New Orleans and Katrina Recovery efforts

Very true. Where is the "choice" and "competition" for broadband Internet? The government (fed, state and local) seems to feel that competition is only needed between two competing technologies, not within each technology. For example, DSL vs Cable. But certainly not Cable vs Cable which would require two roosters in the same hen house. Not going to happen. Funny thing is that both Bell and cable know that wireless is the future. For a true lesson in business, just sit back and watch how this "duopoly" takes over that realm as well in upcoming years (with the help of legislators). Its amazing what a few hundred lawyers lobbying in Washington can do for a company.
