:said by aaronwt :The telcos are at a disadvantage because of taxes. Taxes on my landline from Verizon are almost $12. If I switched to Comcast taxes would be under $2.
This is one of the reasons I'm in the process of dropping my landline and just using my cell number.
Exactly! The playing field is not level. The telcos are severly regulated and the cable companies are not... If cable and other VOIP providers had to play by the same rules as Qwest, Verizon, AT&T and other telcos, this mass movement of services would not be happening. Some of them would not be able to stay in business if they had to compete fairly.
Either tax and regulate it all, or don't!!!
QFT!
