my prediction is that they will build the network get some cash out of subscriptions for a couple of years and then sell it off to one of the big players.
exactly the same happened in my town during the late nineties with cable internet
And despite being AC you can't name the community so that we can check the story for ourselves?
...but in the other direction, and it turns out that you can put nothing into orbit with no effort whatsoever.
Irrelevant. What would be relevant is whether most visitors who will be reading that article are proficient. The Americans in that group may be different than most Americans. Additionally, many in that group may have an education quite different than most Americans.
My preference would be for an education that results in them knowing that it's "different from", and that "than" is for comparing quantities of the same quality.
...the Dixiecrats went over to the GOP.
Many things have changed since 1865.
Frankly, I wish there were some way to dissolve both the Republican and Democratic parties, ban anyone from ever using those as party names again, and ban anyone claiming spiritual descent from either party, and let all those suddenly partyless people hold long converstations to determine who has what in common from a political philosophy standpoint and let them form new parties (if they absolutely can't resist the urge) along those lines.
To accompany this I'd like the idea of governments conducting and paying for party primaries to become absolutely unthinkable, and for voting to be changed to getting to vote for or against every candidate, or abstain, so they get a -1, a 0, or a +1, with the highest total greater than 0 being the winner.
...what do they call the ones from a great distance?
The government already picked a winner years ago, just like they did with electrical service, natural gas service where offered, and telephone service, when it first allowed a cable company use of the right of way to either bury wires or string them on poles (or bury pipes in the case of a gas company).
Once one company is in that position, the economics of another one coming along and also running wires in order to maybe get some of the first company's customers to switch over is usually considered unlikely to provide a sufficient return on investment to make it worthwhile.
Besides, having 37 different companies digging up your yard every other week would likely cease to feel like FREEDOM! in short order.
If it was me, I would have said "The police have been ordered to shoot any Comcast staff members on site"
What about the off-site staff?
There is nothing in the article to indicate that he is a lawyer.
If anything, it implies that he's an accountant.
Who has a lawyer who has contacted Comcast about the matter and received a most inadequate response.
....that he doesn't have the training and talents and experience and instincts and reflexes of even the original Bourne of the excellent cold war era Ludlum books, much less the character from the more recent movies or Eric Van Lustbader's ridiculously ret-conned amalgam of the two in the current books.
Which means he's in more danger if ever attacked and has more to fear from it.
Of course I do.
I also believe that the real reason they were there in the first place was all about her husband's guns.
The Easter Bunny told me so.
And the Tooth Fairy says he never lies.
...keep the comments section on Esquire's Politics Blog working, no way I trust them with anything regarding health and medicine.
...blaming Obama personally for the Secret Service being less than perfect.
I was disappointed a while back that that other distribution didn't go for "Kinky Koala".
