Multi-state businesses hate state regs & will opt for ....

... national regulation as an alternative every single time. Especially when state rules vary greatly from state to state. It is the same reason that the auto industry tries over and over to kill the California EPA regs that conflict with national EPA regs. It costs a lot to tailor your business from state to state and adds a lot of lawyers and lobbyists to your payroll to deal with many government agencies. Much preferable to deal with only 1.

"Faced with the prospect of multiple state policies on this issue, Verizon believes that appropriate federal action to establish a national policy is preferable."

Yeah. That's what we need federal regulation. That way the lobbies can do what they do. Buy the FCC. Especially with that moron Martin running things with the FCC. He has absolutely to care for the customer. None.

ETF are not going anywhere. It has been talked about in other articles that the average subsidy on a cell phone is around $10-$15. Why should I pay a $200 ETF fee?

So just meet the most stringent (the CA Regs in this case) and you will (should?) meet the others. Their problem is trying the cut corners by having different versions instead of just one that will meet the most stringent version. I'd guess that the cost of going this way would be LESS than the cost of all those "lawyers and lobbyists to your payroll".

You can't compete doing what you're doing because you will be competing in other states with companies not following the stricter regs.

There is no such thing as "just meeting" regulations. It costs money to do that an in terms the actual Cal EPA regs example, it costs us a fortune.
