Cause for Concern

Things like this really concern me. Am I the only one? Who the hell cares if Verizon Wireless loses customers of their crappy dial-up service? I don't. Since when did the bottom lines of corporate entities become more important than the interests of US citizens? Uh, wait...don't answer that.
As a side note I really like the term "global knowledge economy". What an impressive euphemism for the internet. Kinda like calling a garbage man a "waste management artisan".
