IMPORTANT NOTICE about High Speed

I work fulltime on the Internet. In fact, I own and run a webhosting company out of Panama where we have 6 fibre optic networks coming into our data center. Where I live however, I can only get a very second rate satellite service. I have to drive 15 miles to get what I need for high speed when I need it.... VERY frustrating.

Now... VERY, VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR YOU ALL.

CHOICE in web access determines our FUTURE for jobs & connectivity

One of our biggest issues is GETTING Americans to realize that we're really at the doorstep of deciding what FREEDOMS we'll have for the future of our options for connectivity of work at jobs, schools, home & even basics like daily news---WE don't have to be SPOON fed anymore by dialy-tv-JUNKOLLA-news that is ONLY interested in tv-ratings rather than helping us to improve our economy & daily work.
