How about your friends, family, and neighbors? <BR/>More Americans are expected to vote this year than ever before in history, so don’t be left out! Be sure to ask everyone you know the following questions:<BR/> Are you registered to vote? If you moved recently, have you updated your voter registration?<BR/> Did you apply for an Absentee Ballot? Do you know your state may not require any reason? <BR/> Can you find your local Polling Place? Do you know it may have changed from last time?<BR/>The answers to these questions -- and all your voting needs -- can be found at www.StateDemocracy.org -- the FREE 1-Stop citizen empowerment portal that Delivers Democracy to your Desktop! StateDemocracy is among the Internet’s first (since 2001) and most encompassing civic empowerment tools. <BR/>In order to boost voter participation this year, StateDemocracy.org is offering FREE widgets for all 50 states. You can simply download and embed these widgets into your own website so your visitors can register to vote, get an absentee ballot or find their local polling place. <BR/>Lobby Congress Via StateDemocracy<BR/>StateDemocracy.org also equips you to maintain an active dialog with your state and federal lawmakers once they are elected. And RIGHT NOW is an especially opportune time to contact your U.S. Senators and House Member, as Congress takes up major legislation on such issues as offshore oil drilling, another economic stimulus package and all federal appropriations bills over the next few weeks.<BR/>As you lobby your elected officials, remember that lawmakers view your constituent input as reflective of scores of other citizens who felt similarly, but didn’t have (or take) the time to share their opinions.<BR/>LobbyDelegates.com Further Empowered Grassroots Voices<BR/>Over the past 5 months, you may have visited www.LobbyDelegates.com, along with 26,000 other visitors. This latest public interest portal by the StateDemocracy Foundation remained the only online tool enabling rank-and-file Democrats to lobby all 800+ Super Delegates on which candidate to back for the party’s Presidential nomination. <BR/>StateDemocracy Foundation Website Users Unite!<BR/>Many of you have used our StateDemocracy.org and LobbyDelegates.com tools in recent times, and have hopefully found your experience uplifting and empowering. I encourage all of you to help spread the news about StateDemocracy.org to enable more of our fellow citizens to Connect! Engage! And Empower!<BR/>Sincerely,<BR/>Ken Laureys, Executive Director<BR/>StateDemocracy Foundation<BR/>Ken.Laureys@StateDemocracy.org<BR/><BR/>P.S.

My initial thoughts about that company still stand - I do not foresee it being a success now or in the future, regardless of its claimed unlimited usage. Their service is just as atrocious as it was when they first began if not better.<BR/><BR/>Kidanet was supposed to have been the savior of the quandary Internet users were facing at the time – could <I>I</I> have been wrong that Kidanet is/was a good service provider when it advertized a no frills package all for the low price of $50/month? If your comments are true as they have been written Chris, then I am truly disappointed. I had not expected FINTEL to have introduced data caps for its packages and not made this news public – this is the work of cowards and the work of a company which will soon have its reputation and fame relegated to the same level of scorn and contempt we show Connect Fiji.<BR/><BR/>Have the people of this country absolutely no say in whether it is right for ISP’s to rip customers off with shoddy packages which are available for less than ¾ of the price we pay for it here? Could it be possible that Fiji’s hype and all the noise it’s been making about embracing ICT has been merely that – noise? It is a sad day for the people of this country when many struggle to put food on their tables without having dodgy ISP’s such as Connect and Kidanet tweaking their agreements quietly and then stiffing us with outrageous packages for atrocious charges.<BR/><BR/>After reading your article, I sincerely hope that the stakeholders involved in these ramifications realize that I am absolutely disgusted with them and their attitude that ripping customers off is a normal practice – while I realize that a company needs to make a profit, I strongly object to that profit being made by ripping off hard-working customers who struggle to make ends meet. <BR/><BR/>Perhaps the technical/financial analysts are right – who wants to do business in Fiji when no one cares about offering you value for your money? <BR/><BR/>I hope if any sane minded stakeholder who has the power to make changes in the ISP industry reads this, they have the decency to end their life out of shame.Rizwan ud Deanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02802565755032856177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31575095.post-71447379743886939622008-05-13T19:34:00.000+12:002008-05-13T19:34:00.000+12:00@thepaul: if SCCN ran a new line to Fiji, the arrangement between FINTEL and SCCN would presumably still stand.

Personally, I was/am expecting increase in quality of service, bandwidth allocation, and that ISPs will eschew limiting users to download caps. And, of course reduction in price. <BR/><BR/>From the SCCN presentation, the most notable insinuation was the plans to provide Internet access to the rural areas. I know this will not happen overnight, but I am hopeful that this will happen.Navineshhttp://navinesh.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31575095.post-60882911885258845732008-03-21T14:20:00.000+12:002008-03-21T14:20:00.000+12:00No the report is not accurate.<BR/><BR/><B>It is safe to blog?</B><BR/><BR/><I><BR/>Yes, but blogging should be accurate and fair, absent of posts that incite violence or use racial overtones.</I><BR/><BR/><B>US Human Rights reports.</B><BR/><I><BR/>Has the US State Department done a report on itself.
