<p>I admire her but her facts are way off. Even at the height of the FiOS build a quarter of all homes passed with fiber were passed by tier3 ILECs and munis. In the past year, more than two-thirds were. there are now 22 million homes passed by fiber -- 20% of all households.</p>

The article David is posting to this list was in the Times<br>
two weeks ago, and immediately generated a lot of attention<br>
and discourse. If you haven't yet read it, take a look.<br>
Susan Crawford is very smart and perceptive.<br>

<br>
Apologies if this Dec. 4 piece has already been posted; some very good<br>
observations, IMHO:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/04/opinion/sunday/internet-access-and-the-new-divide.html?pagewanted=all" target="_blank">http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/04/opinion/sunday/internet-access-and-the-new-divide.html?pagewanted=all</a><br>
<br>
Increasingly, we are a country in which only the urban and suburban<br>
well-off have truly high-speed Internet access, while the rest — the<br>
poor and the working class — either cannot afford access or use<br>
restricted wireless access as their only connection to the Internet. As<br>
our jobs, entertainment, politics and even health care move online,<br>
millions are at risk of being left behind.<br>
