After working overseas for eight years now I am embarrassed that America still has no coherent national broadband plan, no competition, and few choices for overpriced services. The Microsoft monopoly crippled the computer industry and left us with "Windows", we will never know all the creative ideas that were bought up and crushed by the Microsoft money making machine, we are only now starting to see innovation coming from outside of Microsoft controlled interest, and it shows. Al Gore and American politicians schemed and connived to get us the 15th best broadband access in the world, nothing to beat your chest about. That large SUCKING sound you hear is Al(do as I say, not as I do) Gore using energy, while telling everyone else to conserve...sorry had to get that out :--) I was with you until you tried to make Al Gore look good, first off the legislation in America passed by Al Gore and his cronies has created monopolies and made what should have been the fastest and technologically advanced network in the world, instead The United States ranked 15th out of 30 countries for broadband penetration.

Are you saying there are only around 40 million websites in total then? Because that figure is contradicted more than once in the very same article. “Pornographic websites: 4.2 million (12% of total websites)”
