ALT Ars Technica typically strikes a rather Nader-esque position in regard to the No. 1 ISP in the U.S., which the regular reader might come to believe manufactures Death Stars in addition to Corvairs. But in numerous recent stories, Ars does seem to have uncovered a disturbing pattern(opens in new tab) of large cable companies and other ISPs fudging coverage map data in order to influence how the FCC will allocate more than $42 billion in federal grants among over-builders, all for the purpose of creating better competition among internet service providers, not to mention faster and better broadband for consumers. In a story published earlier this month, Ars published an email sent by an executive for regional cable operator Jefferson County Cable in Ohio, who apparently mistook an executive at a rival ISP for a resident who was challenging Jefferson County Cable for falsely claiming it served their home.
