Why do you feel the need to put him down? ========== I'm not a big fan of Al Gore for a number of reasons, not the least of which was his overblown claim to have invented the internet. More importantly, we mostly have Al Gore to thank for George Bush's election to the presidency. Gore was such an incompetent candidate for election that he couldn't even carry his own home state. In the presidential debates he came across as unprepared, immature and naive. He has also been an incredibly unconvincing spokesman for his favorite cause: Global climate change. The whole debate surrounding the various climate change issues has been tarnished by his advocacy. |

Bunga Bunga Nor is lying to the voters about where you were and who was paying for it. True I think the same guy who made extramarital sex OK made lying about it OK too. I don't remember who that was. I think it was the one that let the economy ride on the phony dot coms and took credit for it along with Al Gore of course.. Without Al and his inventing the internet, Clinton could have never invented the mortgage crisis.... er I mean, dot com boom...LOL! You ****ing moron. Gore was one of the driving forces behind the internet. Ah, no! Gore was not one of the driving forces behind the Internet. Electronic Commerce was the driving force behind the Internet's ascendency. The ability to reduce variable costs was and inprove communications was the the driving force. Try again. You're just wrong. No, I am not. I worked for companies who were developing equipment for the Internet in the late 80's and early 90's. I have the Lucite trinkets to prove it. Most of our potential sales were to commercial corporations who needed to inter-connect their internal PCs and other computer assets to make far greater use of their compute investments. Bridges and Routers where the needed items within and at the borders of the Intranets to enable the Internet to explode. Which has nothing to do with the subject at hand, namely that Gore was a driving force behind the internet. LOL! Right... You really should actually investigate a subject before making stupid comments. But then again, you are insane and stupid. Gore certainly WAS a driving force behind the internet. Too bad O'Reilly won't tell you the truth, moron. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al_Gore...ion_technology |

You can easily argue that this was the kick start for broadband and "fast" internet we are now used to, The open question is how long it would have taken the telcoms without this infusion of tax money and whether there was some federal help in getting easements, although most of the fiber followed existing copper paths. IBM and Comsat were part of that enterprise and we were hearing about it in the TP community before the first foot of fiber was laid. At that time, your best chance for real broadband was leasing space on TV cable hard line but that was short hops and fairly limited capacity. The first time I saw that setup was in Dallas where the education center was on the other side of Rt 124 from the main Dallas office and there was no easy way to get across that road. The cable company offered us what would be called a T1 these days a whole lot cheaper than the RBOC. I am not sure they even had it available in that area at the time.. No offense intended, but could you fellas find some new topics over which you can split hairs for a few millions posts? This one is boring, and, as I age, I get bored more easily. Thanks...

The company I work for has done business with all of the Class I railroads in the US, some for over 30 years. Way back when, they owned and operated their own microwave backbones that spanned their entire rail networks, some covering 10+ states. With the advent of fiber, they all made deals with the telecoms to allow fiber to be installed in their track right-of-ways. Some negotiated for a certain amount of bandwidth, some for dark fiber. Of course, those microwave backbones are mostly just memories now. |
