I wish Lessig went into further detail as to which policies he believes caused the decline in broadband competition to decline as he described. Has telecom regulation really changed THAT much since 2000?
How much of the decline in broadband penetration is because of the rural areas being difficult to connect to due to the limits of technology. France and a lot of countries that score higher for broadband penetration do not have any rural areas to speak of, and thus don't have this problem.

McCain had subsidised Non_neutrality and decreased competetion. The lobbyist and Pac influence is having the same affect on technology it had on healthcare and as a result our nation is suffering the same fate.

If McCain has no idea on how to use technology, how can he possibly lead a country into the future, when society is intertwined so much with technology at the moment and this will only grow more. I mean, look at social networks such as Youtube, Myspace, Facebook, IMs, blogs and so on. Won't this mean his opinion will be a bit outdated. And this guy can't grip the concept of emails. Wow, I'm going to be worried if this guy is elected.

The answer to your question is, he can't. You cannot look at the world through a 1960's lens and still be an effective president in an age where technology is changing the world more in one decade than it used to change in a century.
Only a moron would vote for an anti-'net-neutrality candidate.
Oh, and lessig, you're the man.

Obama: Knows how to use a computer.
McCain: Literally does not even know how to use a computer.

I'm not an expert on the candidate platforms, but I do know that Obama supports network neutrality. If you're actually curious, check out his website to see where he stands.

McCain's pro software patent strategy is ignorant to market developments. "John McCain Will Push For Greater Resources For The Patent Office." Yes, equip the bureaucracy that strangulates free competition with even more resources. "The lack of an affordable, reliable means to ensure that the Government only grants valid patents has led to overly broad, frivolous lawsuits designed to force innovative companies into big settlements." Yes we know, but no solution for the patent mess.
