ZDNET asks, did ISP lobby force Net Neutrality out of FCC Broadband Report? http://bit.ly/bzOdUI (ZDNET) By the way, I've started pulling preliminary data out of the ongoing GCTIP Broadband Survey ( http://www.gctip.org/broadband-survey ), and some of the results are absolutely fascinating -- and in some cases unexpected. I won't report in detail here now but there's a tidbit I'll use as a tease. At the end of the survey form I included an open-ended "Questions and Comments" box. I didn't expect it to get much use. I was wrong. A very large percentage of respondents, at various levels expertise, have been using that box to describe, sometimes in great detail, how they feel about their ISPs, service availability, and costs in their areas. It's been a real eye opener. Judging from the comments especially, combined with people's answers to the more formal questions on the survey, it has become immediately apparent that -- contrary to what many observers might think initially -- the *speed* of a user's Internet connection is *not* necessarily the primary component in their level of satisfaction, even when adjusted for varying price levels. More on this later as I continue to analyze the results. --Lauren-- NNSquad Moderator
