A quick one. This is interesting link. Scroll down and move the cursor over your states and see how fast broadband is down and up and then compare it to Massachusett.
I’m impressed with MA.

Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing In Government, Inc (DHHIG) did a video communication survey and published results. Very interesting.
DHHIG is a national non-profit organization which is an employee support group focusing on communication needs. The survey is done to gather information on the impact of video phones on federal employees or the impact of not using video phones.
They survey had 332 responded to the survey requests - 93% of total 357 participants. It is interesting to note the largest participants were from:
Out of 357, 32% had video conference equipment, and whooping 65% did not. Reason why not? Same old song in most state governments, too - denied due to security/Network issues - 38%, and due to funding concerns - 10%. Interesting is this "do not need video conference equipment" 15%. "Other" - 32%.
Survey also shows 40% use vp-200, ancient D-Link 22%, webcamera - 15% and others 18%.
Equally interesting is functionality of Video conference; meaning use video equipment: 32% most of the time, 27% all the time, 29% sometimes; 6% for rarely, and 5% never.
Strongly suggest you all go over these links. It will give you a valuable insights for sure as it did for me.

This article is self explanatory. Quote: "FCC upholds $25,000 fine against KUSI-TV San Diego for failing to provide adequate visual warnings to hearing-impaired viewers during coverage of California wildfires occurred in October 2003".
KUDOS to the FCC for doing that despite the lawyers from the TV Station that challenged the fine.
I filed a similar compliants against two TV stations when tornado hit close to my house, and all I got was weather map and animated twirling symbol of tornado that was close to my house. I see the weatherman frantically speaking, and no caption for that. I’ve no idea what the weatherman is saying. Lawyer from one TV Station defended its position saying that animation, and weathermap suffices, and the other TV Station also defended itself, but did say will improve the deliverance of impending danger. I did not pursue this further. In hindsight, perhaps I should have.
