Re: This Program Deserves To Fail Well it sounds like a great idea to me. We give AT&T the $80 per household. Let AT&T run the program, selling the boxes for the $9.99 difference in price between the "coupon" and the retail price. Then they can tack on a "box service fee", a "digital transition recovery fee", and a "paper billing fee", along with some taxes and a USF fee, bringing the customer's total back up to $49.99.
They can then use the surplus of funds to buy the next FCC head and commissioners the way they have with Martin, ensuring "consumer friendly" regulation for years to come.
