| Verizon should go to legislature & forget cable reg agency Verizon should save itself some trouble and instead of dealing with the state's telecom/cable regulatory agency and asking for rule changes, they should just get the legislature to pass a statewide franchise law like many other states have done. It is much easier to lobby($$$) legislators than it is to get a state regulatory agency to change their rules.

Glendale, AZ | Should they stick the cash in congressmen's freezers or just buy them Rolls Royces instead? I think the cars would be a bit high profile myself.

2 edits | I like the Rolls Royce method myself.  But they can buy legislators with LEGAL reelection money. None of the pols wants to go back to making a real living, so any money to get them reelected is very much appreciated when laws are up for a vote.

Yes, bribes are more effective when dealing with lawmakers.
Quite sad when it comes down to how much a company has to pay off the legislature in order to do something the community doesn't want.

Wheeling, IL | That would be supporting (and advocating) corruption, Tk.
"Play[ing] the game" as you put it is rather directly opposed to the principles that are supposed to be upheld by said "play[ers]." That it's happened throughout the ages does not mean it is correct, otherwise, we'd never see elected officials tossed in jail over this sort of back-room shenanigan.

tkjunkmail-
It seems safe to say you oppose regulation of any kind, anywhere, anytime, for any industry.
Or is it just regulation that the telco industry doesn't like? |

You advocate corruption (if it can be gotten away with), the elimination of government authority over corporations, and anything else that benefits your retirement Comcast stock holdings.
And please stop lecturing the site users about trolling, you're one of the site's largest ones. |
