2 edits | Telcom monopolists protecting their turf
The telecom companies are using their long time control over politicians thru their political contributions to maintain their monopolies, but without any regulations of course. I always get a kick about the people who rail against cable companies, but never take the next step and realize the old baby bells are the true masters of monopoly.

...why things haven't gotten passed at the state level. Why screw the consumer at the state level when you can screw the nation for just a few dollars more.

| I wouldn't even have a problem with such a ban if SBC and others were more willing to roll out ADSL2, fiber and other up and coming technologies. If you are going to try and stop everyone else, make sure you're going to feed our gut with something.

Actually I don't find it as amusing as I find it Orwellian just like everything else the feds name PR-friendly sounding laws aimed at screwing over our jobs, our health, our economy and the environment.

All they have to do is offer half-assed service to a few residents, and then the localgoverment can't offer any services. |

Re: It just proves
Ah, Pete, Pete... C’mon – get on the stick and raise some REAL money! When you were a telco exec, your bonus was way more than the paltry $29,750 that SBC, Verizon and Sprint gave you in 2004! SBC spent $1.57 million in 2004 for congressional races ONLY – so you should have gotten more out of them!
N.B. I love the names the RBOC PACs hide behind – things like “SBC Employee Political Action Committee”; Verizon’s “Good Government Club” et al. Jeeeeez…
Why do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? |

I think you are wrong. you should have a big problem with this regardless of what they offer. Corporations are not supposed to dictate how we will live and what we provide for ourselves. |

| we need fear
the only reason the pete is doing this crap is because there is no fear. if crooked politicians had to fear some group out there fighting for the people things would be different. there is a reason we have the right to bear arms, we just take advantage of it. the revolution will be televised commercial free. |

Simple, by making it a matter of national security (terrorists could be using muni-wireless) but of course they could use ANY internet access, but lets not cloud the FUD with any form of truth. |

Have you voice heard!
Thanks for the link. I encourage everyone who is opposed to this to visit this link and put a quick note of opposition in there for this bill. It only takes 2 minutes, and with enough comments, who knows?
Speak out against HR2726.
