My only take is that if they're looking at that cost to run Comcast, why not just run fiber instead? I am west of Seattle in the Kitsap peninsula, and my total bill was less than 27k for nearly a mile of aerial and trenched fiber to connect to NoaNet (Northwest Open Access network) - and that's gig/gig fiber. What a waste to spend it on dumb old Comcast.

Submission + - The Insanely Great Songs Apple Won't Let you Hear

FunkeyMonk writes: "Slate.com has an article by Paul Collins explaining that the iTunes music store has thousands of tracks that you can't buy in the U.S. From the article:
The iTunes Music Store has a secret hiding in plain sight: Log out of your home account in the page's upper-right corner, switch the country setting at the bottom of the page to Japan, and you're dropped down a rabbit hole into a wonderland of great Japanese bands that you've never even heard of. And they're nowhere to be found on iTunes U.S.
The article goes on to mention a few workarounds if you want to purchase foreign tunes. But this brings up a good point — why shouldn't iTunes be the great mythical omniscient music repository where all the world's music is available instantly? Is this a case of **AA greed, or simply a marketing decision?"
