      @dashrender That's very possible, I could also see people with very large pockets getting involved and providing aid through that process. There have been instances where investors see a business opportunity as well as have the ethical motivation to step in, but yeah that's certainly a concern.

      You don't seriously think that investors have any ethical motivation beyond making money , do you????????

      This is definitely the case for VCs, to only care about making money. It would be awesome to see warren buffet's money going toward projects like this for the people at large, and less for charity in general.

        Agreed. All he's doing is supporting huge salaries for people who run charities.

                        Looks like Ajit Pai might be on the payroll of Sinclair Broadcast Group. Two lawmakers are asking for an investigation.

                              This is bizarre to me.

                              Pai's proposal relies on filings made by carriers to bolster his argument that the functional test "resulted in unnecessary and costly filings" and "can also delay network upgrades." The proposal dismissed the Communications Workers of America argument that the functional test doesn't create uncertainty, saying the union's argument is "directly contradicted by the comments of many carriers."

                              I'm not a fan of Unions, especially since they directly benefit from this rule, but why are you relying on the people you are charged with regulating when you should be doing your own study? Oh right... money.

                                    Basically... "We want states to regulate municipal broadband and prevent cities from creating their own ISPs.... but we don't want states to regulate us." am I understanding this correctly? Seems like we want our cake, eat it, and prevent the poors from ever getting flour to make their own cake.

                                      Yup, but more like "we don't even want the poors to know what cake is."
