US agency that regulates Internet service too poor to build a good website | Ars Technica:



 ""Efforts to upgrade this IT capability were a casualty of sequestration," Wheeler wrote in a blog post yesterday. "Most recently, the agency requested of Congress approximately $13 million for IT upgrades in the FY 2015 appropriation. I appreciate that the Senate subcommittee has provided the Commission with full funding in its FY 2015 spending bill, so that we can make these important upgrades. Unfortunately, the appropriations bill passed by the House today would fund the FCC at $17 million below current levels and $53 million below our overall budget request, dramatically undermining any effort to modernize our IT systems.""
