Analysis of broadband affordability deemed “extraneous” by FCC chair.

The Federal Communications Commission is ditching Biden-era standards for measuring progress toward the goal of universal broadband deployment.

The changes will make it easier for the FCC to give the broadband industry a passing grade in an annual progress report. FCC Chairman Brendan Carr’s proposal would give the industry a thumbs-up even if it falls short of 100 percent deployment, eliminate a long-term goal of gigabit broadband speeds, and abandon a new effort to track the affordability of broadband.

Section 706 of the Telecommunications Act requires the FCC to determine whether broadband is being deployed “on a reasonable and timely basis” to all Americans. If the answer is no, the US law says the FCC must “take immediate action to accelerate deployment of such capability by removing barriers to infrastructure investment and by promoting competition in the telecommunications market.”

    200,000 people have died in Gaza most of that occurring in 2023 to 2024. Who was president during that time?

    This sets the number at 60,000 in Jan 2025. So if its up to 200,000, we know that 140,000 of those deaths were in the 6 months of Convicted Sex Offender Treason Trump. So Gazan deaths per month under Trump were about 4x higher than when Biden was president.

    It literally says below that under Trump the “WORST case scenario” of the entire war is happening right now. You are actively defending Gaza’s “worst case” genocide scenario and supporting its chief enabler in the USA. You don’t give the slightest fuck about anybody in Gaza because you are in reality a right wing fascism supporter.

      Now, it’s not my fault you can’t read, nor did the proper work to understand the 200,000 number, where it came from, and when it was released.

      This is so fucking cute of you to use the Wikipedia number of 60,000, which has been heavily disputed, and then try to claim that this 200,000 number occurred only during the Trump administration. The Lancet had already released before Trump had gotten elected a notice or an article about how the death toll was significantly undercounted. In fact, a majority of the NGOs involved in that area since about 2024 have been screaming about how there is a famine going on and how this is a genocide.

      But because you’re so wrapped up in liberal propaganda, you wouldn’t know that this famine has been ongoing for almost two years and has only just recently moved into its worst phase, phase five. Did you know there are four other phases before that? I wonder which President allowed those four phases to occur.

      The fact of the matter is, Joe Biden allowed a genocide to happen, unrequitedly, and then lied to the American public about it.

      You might be able to make an argument that for the American people, a Democrat administration might have been better, but for the Palestinians, it would have been the same.

      Besides, this goes to my point that if the democrats hadn’t been so fucking genocidal towards the Palestinians, they might have won the 2024 election, but who fucking knows?

      It’s almost like I’m advocating for the position that the majority of the constituents the Democrats represent actually want and not the bullshit they keep feeding us.
