My question for the YouTube debate

Here is my question for the YouTube/CNN Democrats’ debate on U.S. broadband internet strategy:

I say I’m worried about the digital divide — between America and the world. The U.S. has fallen to 25th place in broadband penetration worldwide. Our broadband access costs, on average, 12 times more than Japan’s and 7 times more than South Koreas, yet Japan’s is 12 times faster than ours and Korea’s 9.5 times faster. So I ask the candidates: Will you pledge today to assure all Americans affordable — open — high-speed internet access and how will you do it? This is a necessity for our economy, education, culture, and future.

YouTube debate: The picks of the questions so far

I’ve just watched all the early submissions of voter questions for candidates in the CNN/YouTube Democrats’ debate. The interesting ones.

The best question I’ve seen: Eddy wants to know what the candidates will do in the aftermath of withdrawl from Iraq. How will they prevent ethnic cleansing and civil war?
