It didn’t receive much attention in the context of oil wells being capped and financial services legislation being passed, but the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) took a step last week that could make a profound difference for Americans who live in rural parts of the country. The FCC voted unanimously to have the federal government pay a greater share of broadband Internet costs for rural health care providers, and the commission also expressed its intent to subsidize the construction of broadband networks. Why is this important?  Over the past 25 years, according to the Center for Health Transformation, over 500 rural hospitals have shuttered their facilities.  And, while 25 percent of the U.S. population lives in rural areas, only about one in ten doctors ...

The obvious problem here is that, at least as it’s worded in English, the question is ambiguous between two equally plausible readings.  Especially when juxtaposed with another question about whether the Internet should be regulated by government, it could be understood as asking whether there’s a fundamental negative right to be free to use the Internet — to read and communicate free of government censorship or other onerous barriers.  That’s probably how we’d interpret a parallel question...

The survey also found that most adults (58 percent) would rather give up television watching for two weeks than Internet access for one week, and 65 percent of those surveyed placed the Internet into the category of discretionary items in their life that they cannot live without. Far from robbing people of their social involvement with others, the survey also revealed that 78 percent of adults said the Internet improved their ability to stay in touch with friends and family, and more than two-thirds described it as a method to shop more effectively and efficiently, saving them money. ...

Consider this a from the heart kind of post… my heart. I am sorry I have been non existent for a few days. We had a swimming tournament for our older two daughters at the beach on Saturday then in upper Delaware on Sunday, so no internet access for me. I have to admit though, it was a nice break. Well kind of nice… You know how it is with 3 little girls and traveling a total of 10 hours in the car over 2 days or so. Fun would not be the word I would use! But it is exciting to see our kids compete and participate in the same activities that we did growing up. God bless my parents. They also had 3 girls close in age and they religiously took us to all of our tournaments, games and practices for years with no complaints. Now I understand the sacrifice that t...
