Trillion Dollar Broadband Scandal
by Bruce Kushnick and David Rosen
Few Americans know that the U.S. is a second-tier telecom country. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ranks the U.S. 32nd in terms of fiber deployment of the 38 OECD countries. The U.S. is ranked 15th-fastest for mobile speeds (at 110.07 Mbps) and 13th-fastest for broadband speeds (at 203.81 Mbps).
The Book of Violations & Egregious Acts reveals how wireless services are second rate to fiber. It details that while wireless services provide more profits to the telecoms and that hey won’t solve the digital divide. Most importantly, the book details how for decades, the telecoms have manipulated their accounting procedures to maximized profit and diverted billions from state wired public utilities to wireless services.
