[Commentary] There's no love loss between Public Knowledge's Art Brodsky and anyone connected to Connected Nation, so after Brodsky published another story critical of CN last week, CN was quick to respond. Taylor, CN's Chief Analyst, accuses Brodsky of manufacturing "gotchya," conspiring, and "distorting the truth into complete fabrications." She writes that Connected nation's filing is clear on "specific processes that Connected Nation uses to 1) gather network data by working in the field with providers and local officials, 2) verify the data through systemized and continuous communication with thousands of local leaders and consumers, and 3) make the broadband data transparent to the public through an interactive, fully searchable and zoomable, web-based map that all consumers, policymakers, economic developers and anyone else can check and use. And thousands of individuals do this on a regular basis." [Follow the debate and add your comments at http://benton.org/node/15506#comment-28]
