Re: $200 Billion Rip Off
Your right. No proof.
It's probably a lot more then $200 billion. |

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.

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.
