The Web site BroadbandBreakfast.com has coverage of Monday night's "occasionally tense" Federal Communications Commission hearing on broadband access.
In keeping with the hearing's location, the National Civil Rights Museum, FCC commissioner Mignon Clyburn said, "I believe that universal access to broadband needs to be seen as a civil right. I don't think you can look at it in any other way."
The article says that panelists identified affordability and perceived need as the two biggest obstacles to broadband adoption. Only 55 percent of Tennesseans have adopted broadband, which is available to 90 percent.

I cannot believe that they are referring to a fast internet connection as a civil right. Our libraries are outfitted with this, you can go to a Starbucks and connect to their WiFi. It is available everywhere, and the best part is that most of it is free. What next, a laptop for everyone, maybe an iPhone too. Sign me up, I need some free stuff. By definition Civil Rights are "The rights belonging to an individual by virtue of citizenship, especially the fundamental freedoms and privileges guaranteed by the 13th and 14th Amendments to the U.S." Did I miss it when I read the 13th and 14th Amendments, I did not see anywhere that everyone needs a fast internet connection.
Why don't we spend time on something a little more interesting.
We need to Defund and Disband the FCC. Idiots!
Comcast's right of way agreement should be amended to require free internet access for any cable customer with a student that qualifies for lunch assistance.
