Verizon spends $4 million per quarter on lobbying alone. Those penalties are a gift. In your opinion. But I guess we are at a time where we look to heavily penalize companies for trying to do business. A 121 million dollar penalty is a 121 million dollar penalty. If they lost that big deal, should the penalties go down? | |

And they shouldn't be. The company does business in many states and that state should be the gauge not the nation. | |
