That is a word that is thrown around allot. I live in a rural community, I can tell you that we need change in this industry. Why are there several upgrades to those in urban markets, and my phone line is only gets me 22K? Could rural areas at least get DSL, before urband area get FIOS? As for my alternatives I've tried WildBlue, it was horrible and with very expensive setup costs. I currently have Verizon EVDO Rev. A, which is internet through cell phone tower. This service is better, but it's $59.99/M, and it doesn't allow me to stimulate the economy by buying music, or Playstation Store items. They cap your service at 5GB/m, what gives? I feel that a decent internet should be available to all, not just those in urban areas. I hope that Mr. Genachowski brings "change"! Ohh and start with Vermontville, MI:) Broadband?

Now could you do us all a favor and drop Mr. Crovitz a line at the WSJ editorial page, and let him know that these things matter more than Comcast's desire to throttle video distribution competitors?
