America! The land of selfish assholes. At least that's what a new survey seems to show, with 53% of respondents against the idea of the government making high-speed broadband available to those it has yet to reach.

Can't find the article at a better source. I think I saw it on the BBC at some point but I don't remember.

Those are empty numbers unless we know the size of the number of people who took the survey and the type of people surveyed. I mean, it's pretty weird knowing that there even exist people who think so selfishly.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. The USA are a hotbed of libertarianism and fiscal conservatism.

Though to be honest, I'd be baffled if there would be strong support in the Netherlands either.

How accurate is that survey? :v

You don't get to complain. Until two months ago, I paid the same amount as the most expensive package in the Netherlands, and only got 20 gigabytes of internet at a s*** download speed. I still pay the same, but now I'm at least approaching your basic package. And my brother, who lives close enough to the border to get Dommel, hasn't shut up about it in weeks. And I can't switch to it now that it reaches down south far enough, because disconnecting this s*** thing TAKES THREE GODDAMN MONTHS.

/rage.

Maybe I should complain...

Do you have any idea why teh interwebz are so costly in the United States of Belgium?

But actually I do complain that there hasn't been an initiative as in Finland yet here. Because I think it is a great idea, even though I don't need it.

Thailand needs free internet that is also free of censorship.
