Here's one part of the National Broadband Plan I love. They hope to totally revamp E911 into a system of wireless and Internet Protocol, in laymen's terms, that will work through the Internet with capabilities to text message (which is already in place in some places in the US), video conference, check environmental factors in the area where the call originates, check medical records of callers immediately because they will be in a federal database, you know part of the new health care reform. All at a cost of approx. $87 billion. They hope to help people with disabilities and non-English speakers. Oh, yeah, forgot to mention that the plan requires changes to the current FCC regulations that will allow them greater control of the Internet.

Caution to Conservatives!! Progressives may come into your home in the dark of the night and waterboard you with the Kool-Aid if you log into these federal sites and post comments they don't like.
