The Major Ineternet Service Providers in United States seeks to define the term "Broadband" at a much lower speed than the other developed nations. Since I do not belong to any major communication workgroup by trade, besides in IEEE, which are guarenteed not to have opposing opinions with the telecomm giant on this issue, where can we go to make the pitch to have a higher bandwidth for our already over-priced Internet Service? Better still what is you, the Slashdotters' opinion on this? Do you think the current average individual bandwidth of 1.5Mbps downstream and 0.75Mbps sufficient for the forseeable future?

Ever wonder how expansive a tank of gas would cost you? How about 81 billion dollars! Juan Zamora had his PayPal debit card maxed out after a routine gas fill up, only to find his debit card is maxed out and the transaction cost him $81,400,836,908 dollard. "'That's a B, as in billions!' Zamora wrote in an e-mail to the Herald on Wednesday." Make me wonder whether the glitch is the debit card transaction system or in PayPal's system.
