ISPs Won't Give You Broadband, Won't let Anyone Else, Either

,----[ Quote ]
| Many ISPs fail to expand broadband to all of 
| their potential customers, which is sometimes 
| understandable given the expense. However, 
| we've documented countless times how those 
| same ISPs often then lobby to have laws passed 
| or engage in sleazy activities to prevent 
| those towns and cities -- or anyone else -- 
| from wiring those un-served regions. ISPs get 
| their cake and eat it too -- saving money on 
| expansion, while avoiding a future competitor 
| should the local incumbent someday change 
| their mind and decide to service that market. 
| It shouldn't work that way -- but it does, and 
| all too often.

Internet Provider Says It Blocks Sites

,----[ Quote ]
| Yota denied that it was blocking those
| sites. But Denis Sverdlov, chief executive
| of WiMax operator Skartel, which runs the
| Yota brand, did acknowledge that Yota blocks
| access to sites that are classified as
| extremist by the Justice Ministry. Because
| of that, Yota users cannot open the Chechen
| rebel web site Kavkazcenter.com.
