Optimization Week Issue #52, August 18, 2005

In this issue of Optimization Week we follow up on our FCC broadband story of last time. The Free Press, Consumers Union, and the Consumer Federation of America respond to the July FCC report with a report titled "Broadband Reality Check" claiming that the US government is stifling broadband competition in favor of the DSL/Cable duopoly. Next we update the Web Page Analyzer 0.961 to fix a blank results page bug some users were experiencing. We're always working on the analyzer, let us know what you'd like to see included in the next version.
