A Rant. All 406 Pages of It.
By DAN MITCHELL
Published: February 11, 2006

A NEW e-book tells a "sordid story" of business fraud, according to one
reviewer.
The book's author says it is "the largest fraud case in American history."

Enron? WorldCom? No. It's much, much larger than either of those, though
the use of
the word "fraud" in this case is more a literary device than a legal
definition.
The book is "The $200 Billion Broadband Scandal" (newnetworks.com). The
author is
Bruce Kushnick, a longtime irritant to the telecommunications industry.

...

By now, according to Mr. Kushnick, 86 million homes should be wired at
45 Mbps
- -- at least 15 times as fast as the best commonly available D.S.L.
service.
The count of homes wired at that speed so far is zero.
