loop holes

When you read about loop hooes it usu­al­ly is all about some­one tak­ing advan­tage of the gap­ing mas­sive holes that con­gress seems inca­pable of fix­ing and or pre­vent­ing in the first place.

When the aver­age per­son looks at some of these (frankly) igno­rant bills that con­gress cre­ates, you almost have to won­der are these peo­ple ok?

The real ques­tion here is not that there are loop holes in these bills but that con­gress is so inept that it can­not seem to write a bill that actu­aly func­tions cor­rect­ly.

One Big Prob­lem.

The big prob­lem that we face is the fact that these bills are not cre­at­ing a solu­tion.

They design these bills with­out the cor­rect lan­guage that would force con­trac­tors to per­form what they promise to do when they take mon­ey.

The glar­ing issue for Broad­band Tech­nol­o­gy is that these tele­com bills fail to man­date that a con­rac­tor will actu­al­ly pro­vide the ser­vices for which they are being paid for.

One large “Broad­band” con­trac­tor took over 80 Mil­lion dol­lars then failed to pro­vide the ser­vices which was broad­band to rur­al con­sumers.

They actu­al­ly took that mon­ey then sold off much of the rur­al assets and then alleged­ly took off with the mon­ey.

Why does that hap­pen and how could it hap­pen because you look at an aver­age retail con­struc­tion con­tract and you will not find a lack of accoun­abil­i­ty in that well writ­ten con­tract!

Yet, mil­lions of amer­i­cans are still wait­ing for broad­band inter­net ser­vices and this after mul­ti­ple mil­lions of dol­lars have been paid out and accept­ed by con­trac­tors yet they only pro­vid­ed ser­vices to a small amount of sub­scribers.

Some in rur­al coun­ties actu­al­ly have fiber in their front yards but are told that they can­not get fiber.

Why? How?

This seems fool­ish and igno­rant but we are see­ing this and more issues every year and they seem to want to spend more mon­ey on this but they appar­ent­ly are inca­pable of ten­der­ing a bill that would force a con­trac­tor to fin­ish the job for which they are being paid to do.

I know this is crazy but is there any­one in con­gress that has half a brain?

No need to answer that because most of the time that is self evi­dent.

So here we are again in an elec­tion year and they are yet again talk­ing about broad­band inter­net but most peo­ple have lost so much faith with con­gress that they real­ly are no longer believ­ing that con­gress will do any­thing with its cur­rent lead­er­ship and sad­ly they are not wrong!
