Comcast Corp.
Bandwidth, bandwidth, bandwidth. Everybody wants more, and most options available to average Netizens are much too slow. The cable companies are partially to blame; the technology exists for speedy data connections, but no company wants to spend the barrels of cash it would take to upgrade existing networks. In response, Microsoft made a $1 billion investment in Comcast last year so they’d enhance their high-speed data connections with cable modems and video services.

HERE’S WHERE YOU COME IN

We’ll say it loud and clear: No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
