quote:
The service has been particularly popular among the more sophisticated customers attracted by higher Internet speeds, said Karl Bode, the editor of BroadbandReports.com. "Deliver quality technology and cutting-edge speed, and customers respond," he said. "I’m preparing to move into a new home, and FiOS availability actually played a part in where I was willing to move. And I’ve probably been one of Verizon’s most outspoken critics over the years."
Who's this Karl Bode guy? Never heard of him. He doesn't seem to have a Wiki page so obviously he really is a homeless nobody. Typical NYT reporting...just get any random person to make up a quote and it's front page news. |

CLEARLY a manufactured story, along with a manufactured "expert" to quote.
Is it me, or does that pizza box look to be just about the right size to rack mount???

I've only got approx 3500 posts, so you've got me beat.
Some people have no concept of sarcasm & satire.
Oh well, it was worth a try....

Forget it. Post count means nothing. Post content is everything. |

Karl is not just an editor, he is the founder and editor of this site. I appreciate all the discussions he has enabled through the years. Even though I appear to be a recent user of this site, I was significantly involved with this site in it's formative years. I lost my original ID and privileges when due to financial needs I was forced to drop out of all internet access. It was a painful period for me.
He has run a site that has significantly been able to follow the events that have shaped high-speed access to the internet and all the ancillary services.
I had nowhere near the posts that he has had. He has continued to be able to actively maintain contact with the industry.
Let us all commend Karl for his diligent efforts in allowing us to understand and maintain our high-speed internet connections

| Perhaps you should be thanking justin , owner and operator of the site (scroll to the bottom of the linked page).
Karl is one of 3 staff members and the news editor among other things. I think a founder likely would have a join date a little closer to the beginning of the site as well as a lower UID instead of 141383. But none the less Karl does do a good job. |
