Bedford, MA | Rate Hike for sure
The day this rate hike leads to lower consumer prices will be the day pigs fly and water flows uphill. The telcos are in business to make money by any legal or quasi-legal means. The only place to get money is from subscribers. |

|  AT&T's analysis of new plan vs current methods
Basically, if you read the below charts and numbers, users that barely use the phone will pay more and everyone else will pay less under the new plan. If you are a poor "lifeline" customer you get a break.

Re: Rate Hike for sure
Sure it will lead to lower prices... from plain old telephone landlines to VOIP... cuts that nasty REGRESSIVE fcc line charge to "ZERO", NOTHING, NADA..
It will speed telcos entry into VOIP like mad, because it will cut a main artery leading to consumer's wallets provided they see the light at the end of the tunnel and switch providers to a cheap VOIP company and say NO MORE to the 3 largest telcos in the country!!
Adding fees to broadband is silly, since they enacted a law banning taxes/surcharges for access. Either way, this will come bite them in the ass later on.. Oh, by the way.. what happened to getting more money from the corporate ELITE in this country... taxing them like paupers B'Yatch! It's time for the pendulum to start swinging back!!

| Telling half the story or your SPIN on that 39% rate is like saying the OIL companies have a vested interest non-commoditizible fuels..
Tell the whole story, where the actual effective rates paid are half or less for MOST CORPORATE ELITE... how they screw and the taxpayer & customers are almost beside the point.. there aren't much products and services that the top corporations that can't be done by small business with the exception of:
medical/drugs
fuel/power
military contractors
banking
You can find other examples... in the economy. The time has come for the middle class who pay the bills to get a break! Simply making things more expensive solves nothing. |

YOU, B'Yatch! Baloney! Corporate tax rates after breaks and everything else they screw a state and city for is about 15-20%. |
