Bears Cause Slow Idaho Internet?

This just in from the New York Times: Idaho has the slowest Internet connectivity in the nation, and that’s partially because of bears rubbing themselves on towers. It’s also because of snow, fog, mountains and (in summary) the fact that most of Idaho is rural countryside. “I don’t think enough people understand just how bad the situation is,” one expert told the Times. “It really is time for this country to invest in getting its citizens online where we don’t have Internet access, especially in rural areas, so we stop sending jobs to India that we could be sending to Idaho.” Blame the bears. Maybe they’re just better behaved in India/ Amy Rolph , Seattle’s Big Blog. More here. (AP file photo)

Question: Should the Idaho delegation expand its changes to the Endangered Species Act to include a provision that allows the state to shoot bears who are slowing down our Internet access  ;-)
