My apologies to Ezra for not contributing this weekend. Ezra, I'm sorry. Can we be friends again? (Aside to readers: Ezra's very testy about these things. And he smells bad. And he looks like Matt LeBlanc from friends.)
The thing is, D.C. rent prices being what they are, I can't afford an internet connection in my apartment. I can't even afford a robust enough adapter to pirate the unsecured wireless signal coming from my neighbor's unit. (I'm too poor to squat... heavens the indignity.)
But this presents the perfect opportunity to plug the group I work with at the New America Foundation's Wireless Future Program. In sales-pitch terms, we brainstorm and advocate policies that would make broadband more democratic and public-service oriented (i.e. cheaper and more abundant). You can probably imagine the obstacles, though.
