Re: $200 Billion Rip Off

Where are the facts backing this up?
Over the decade from 1994-2004 the major telephone companies profited from higher phone rates paid by all of us, accelerated depreciation on their networks, and direct tax credits an average of $2,000 per subscriber for which the companies delivered precisely nothing in terms of service to customers. That's $200 billion with nothing to be shown for it.
This is nothing but an unsubstantiated number made up by Cringley. It bolsters his argument, but he shows no proof whatsoever.

Point taken... of course, if the only people that can substatiate it are the ones that profited most by it, chances are slim to none that will happen I guess

Thanks for the heads up. I am not aware of Cringleys track record, if there is one, but your reply suggests there is.

He provides links... You just have to look for them. He doesn't embed them in the actual article.

Your right. No proof.

It's probably a lot more then $200 billion.
