No awards for Stalin?

How long is it before the corporate greed apoligist Tr0llz come here applauding the ethics awards, and applauding companies for not bowing under pressure to follow laws and regulations. How about an ethics award to Verizon,BellSouth,Comcast, and the devil himself, AT&T for fair and ethical business practices, and another award for being humanitarian and philanthropist.

So you're saying the basic thrust of Bruce Kushnick's writing, that U.S. consumers have been screwed for years by the telcos, is not true?

I would welcome any insight into where you think he's wrong. Don't forget to include sources for your information.

I second that. Show us where the companies that you are financially interested in are being "misrepresented" by him.

Please provide links to show where all the money they have swindled from the american people has ended up. Because we all know all of it did not make into that fiber network they promised us way back in the 90's.

Good to see some real journalism, providing a counterpoint to everything I historically here in the industry itself.

Congrats BBR on drawing the lines. I appreciate the hard work.

I know one that will NEVER get an award.

Bruce Kushnick is the lying special interest behind every bogus fact I have read on this board. What has this individual done? NOTHING, absolutely nothing, the only sheep he shepherds post here.
