Vote how you will it's your choice just don't vote just because someone is going to be the first....we tried that experiment with barry and even though he said what bush did with the national debt was "unpatriotic" he grew the debt more than all presidents combined including bush and has given us a bigger racial divide and made us much less safe.

Anyway be informed. This is a short clip talking about how mean spirited Hillary is behind closed doors. Not an opinion first hand account from the secret service who were bound to serve her as First Lady.

Not Hillary for president...Hillary for prison

I don't see any evidence that the President is corrupt as hell. Even Trmup did not make this accusation.

I will, however, comment on the issue of net neutrality, and wireless communications.

Microsoft, in 1997, was promoting a vision for a true broadband (Gbps, not Mbps) network, capable of delivering applications and services through the cloud, tethered or un-tethered, was hindered by the duopoly (phone and cable company).

Is a $25, per month, phone bill possible? yes, and it covers your fixed phone, and mobile phone, and that includes your data.

How about one bill: $75 per month. It covers your phone service (mobile and fixed), all the data you can eat, your Gbps Internet connection, and your basic TV services (all the free channels).

This vision is not compatible with that of a wireless service provider, like yourself, who wants to make money, charging for "faster" lanes, that can be used to deliver specialized services, or even entertainment.

But, forget about net neutrality, here's why your business is doomed: Alpha. They are buying up dark fiber all over the country (and the world), and hooking it up to wireless clusters, and building it up. Microsoft would have been there 15 years ago, had they not been so focused on their retail product strategy, so they disbanded their internal efforts to build what Alpha is starting to build now, so their people with the know how cashed out and retired.

Apple wants to do the same thing, and Facebook wants to do the same thing.

Nevertheless, the battle is not over. AT&T promises to appeal, and the GOP, through the House Appropriations Committee approved a budget that will cut $69M from the FCC funding, essentially what the FCC needs to enforce the classification of ISPs as Common Carriers. The President will probably veto that bill.

I don't know why AT&T does not see the oncoming Alpha/Google, Apple, Facebook train, but you may want to be in a different business. Even in urban environments, where WISPs thrived, they're having to revise their business models, because the "phone" companies are starting to deploy fiber to the premise solutions that are reasonably priced.

You still have the niche wireless markets, but...
