Re: umm, define univeral.

Great argument.

I like to call it the post office or fritos argument.

The price of a letter is averaged (arguably subject to competitive pressures). The average jane pays their 39 cent regardless of location and length to deliver.

Fritos. Wherever I go, a bag of Fritos seems to cost the same. The cost of delivering them certainly is not the same.

Telcom and cable differ, to an extent, due to regulatory constructs. The difference between the former two and the latter two is the "line iteming" of "pass throughs". It sure would be nice if I could send my letters locally for 15 cent and see a fee of 24 cent "federally mandated rural delivery
costs".

Then again, if I were the postmaster, I'd get into this action as well.

That is the Teletruth B.S. argument. If you think your USF subsidised POTS line in your hog pen is paying the $1500 pre home to run FIOS past it you have lost touch with reality.
