I'll just post here what I wrote on Slashdot:

It's grandstanding. The FCC was saying this a month ago:

michael-copps-my-hero

When you have the people and the FCC saying the same thing and the  
legislature hasn't done squat (or anti-squat:

broadband-scandal

) then the legislature has to grandstand and "somebody" has to be to  
blame.

Actually, there are very good economic development reasons to see  
broadband penetration climb over the current 65-75%.  Maybe somebody  
told the dems they'd get more tax money if the economy was stimulated.

Ben's gonna kill me for bringing up taxes on this list. ;)
