It's not Just McCain That's "Out of Touch"...

...it's (apparently) his whole campaign!

In this article, the following is stated:

Holtz-Eakin also defended McCain's assertions about the fundamentals of the U.S. economy being strong and cited the Republican presidential candidate's work on the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees telecommunications, as part of his qualifications to lead the country through a financial crisis.

"You're looking at the miracle that John McCain helped create," Holtz-Eakin told reporters while holding up a Blackberry device.

Thanks Mr. Holtz-Eakin. Now I know who to blame for the mess that is this country's telco "market". Dominated by a few ILECs (Incumbent Local Exchange Carriers) that are more interested in squeezing profit out of their current infrastructure than updating it for 21st. century needs. A few years ago we ranked near the top in broadband speed. Now we sit at an appalling 15th!


Why does this matter? Well, not only is the internet the future of commerce, but the future is already here and we are falling behind...far behind!

Get a clue! Stop taking credit and asking for laurels where shame would be more appropriate!
