"Word of the Week: Fraudband

Fraudband: the fast Internet access they promised yesterday in return for rate relief and tax breaks but never delivered, and meanwhile the telco's dividend went up by exactly raterelief+taxbreaks.

Fraudband: fast wireless Internet access but only for email or Web surfing, but not "p2p" or Internet telephony or video ('cept for their video).

Fraudband: Of course you've got broadband competition, there are 18 providers of broadband in your Zip code.

Fraudband: Universal affordable broadband in every corner of the United States by 2007."
