The FCC responds to some criticism of their data used for articles pointing out that the US is lagging in broadband coverage and quality. The funny thing is, while they claim that the media has taken their data and run wild with it, they also go point by point and acknowledge all those problems exist. I don't get it. It's almost like the author is personally offended by the discussion, not because the media was wrong, but because they were correct and their numbers supplied that knowledge. Is it not enough to just produce data and let people read and interpret it for themselves?
Click here for the full article, and the broadband coverage map that started it all. By any standards, we're lagging. I'm not sure why the FCC decided to publish a retort, but in my book it didn't do anything but diminish their credibility.
