I have a dream...
I dream that one day Internet, Broad band service will be a service which stands alone, independant of platform or device.
I dream that I can use my AT&T phone to connect to Verizon's Data service if I wish.
I dream that if I wish to install... "Santa does Dallas... The Game" on my Iphone/Blackberry/WinMobile phone I will not be told that "This app does not pass our standards"
I dream of a day that "Unlimited" means "Unlimited" and that includes "continuous video/audo streaming" Not, "unlimited" until we say that it's too much...
I have a dream...

Add the use of P2P software without risk of persecution or lawsuit to that 'I have a dream'.

Why is it that it's always a damn republican trying to thwart something good from happening when it's for the better of the people? "Affordable health care" for all...no that's a horrible idea (let people keep going to the emergency room treating it like a doctors office)..."open internet" where ISP's can't discriminate...no that's a horrible idea (ISP's obviously don't make enough money as it is so lets let them capitalize on having complete reign on what you can and cannot see and do online). Screw over the little-average guy and let big companies make the decisions...yeah that's a terrific idea!!!
It's funny because when there's finally somebody good in the White House people don't know how to act/appreciate it. If you think Obama and his administration are evil because they're looking out for the little guy or the constantly screwed over guy..maybe we should all go back to the Bush era where shit wasn't gettin done and the catering to big companies for self preservation was more important than that of the people who struggle from day to day. You never know what you got until you lost it..and people will definitely realize that when we get the good ol self centered republicans back in office. OK, rant is over!!
