"I just the other day got, an internet was sent by my staff at 10 o'clock in the morning on Friday and I just got it yesterday." - your senator link to external site

Here's the full audio of his statements to Congress.

Senator Stevens (R-Alaska) might need this to explain the internets to him.

One thing that, perhaps, is getting overlooked in all this, is brought into focus in Steven's words: "It's there for the consumer." The internet is not "there for the consumer" it is there for everyone - or at least it should be. It doesn't need to function as another way to buy shit for it to have value. It's value is in the way in can quickly and easily share information across communities, borders, and cultures; in how it can bring our world together and keep people informed and educated.
