Want a/need a TV Converter Box coupon?

My mother sent this to me and I am going to post it everywhere: "I have an extra TV Converter Box coupon. I heard that the government ran out and many people will have to pay full price for a box.

The coupon is worth $40. It is illegal for me to sell it. I'd rather give it away for free than to see it go to waste. Someone on Ebay is selling "information" on how to get a coupon. Pretty clever but I decided it wasn't worth it. This is the government they're f**king with.

Do you know anyone who needs one? It's only for people who use an antenna for their TV....

Free Wi-Fi Plan

Just thought this would be of some interest.

Thanks,

Aaron Stenton


It seems that some Democrats and the Bush administration have finally found something to agree on: opposition to the FCC’s free Wi-Fi plan. On December 18, the Federal Communications Commission is expected to vote on a proposal that would auction off the AWS-3 wireless spectrum that becomes available in February 2009 after television stations go all digital. The winner of the spectrum would be required to use part of it for a national, ad-supported free wireless Internet service. The free Wi-Fi would have to be implemented within a few years of winning the auction and requires the company to construct filters that protect minors from adult content.

Speaking out for Net Neutrality...

Got this at my yahoo account today and wanted to share:

Dear Friend,

Big phone and cable companies are trying to get rid of Net Neutrality, the fundamental principle that prevents them from discriminating against your favorite Web sites and services.

Unless we speak out to our members of Congress, they could move to allow large telephone and cable companies to control what you do, where you go and what you watch online.

Visit the URL below to learn more about what's at stake and send a loud message directly to Congress:
