Dear Government peoples

Keep your hands out of broadband. I am a 13 years old and I am tired of hearing my Dad complain everytime the government get's involved in what should be private endeavors. Dad says Indiana was smart to limit towns and governments installing their own services. Sooner or later the "people" will be taxed on a "free" service and the costs would soon eclipse services run by private companies. Dad says that would not be too bad except people that do not want to you use the service would get it in the shorts again pating for something they never use. What does Dad mean "getting it in the shorts"?

Look at the mess you have made not allowing competition in the cable industry. My Dad's house is 5 miles away from one cable system that is willing to provide a full spectrum of services, but because territories have been assigned we are stuck in the last mile of a cable cvompany that can only provide us with 26 cable channels. Daddy had to put up a butt ugly round dish on the house so that I can get my MTV. Thanks for nothing ya bums. Dad says you government regulators could mess up some type of dream, I don't know what type but Dad was mad and I'm sure it is not nice.

Why is it so important that we beat Japan and all them other companies in broadband? Dad says that maybe those other countries like that type of stuff better and he said something about consumer demand was greater there. Daddy also got real mad when he said that probably because of government regulations already in place have stifled growth. Maybe just maybe consumer demand is not not great here in the USA?

ZDNET my Daddy Squawkbox told me I could post this and he is watching over my shoulder right now. Also if Mike Cox is reading this Dad's ex-wife wants to have your baby and I want a brother.

Thanks
