Re: that's fair
As far as I know, to become Incorporated you still need some level of government to issue it, so your leap of faith between Bell getting a Charter issued by the Fed as an indication of being "funded" by the Fed is completely wrong.
And although Dominion Telegraph Co was a division of the Government at the time, Bell bought them after the fact.
You and others make it sound as if Bell was 100% funded and built it's network with taxpayer money which is a complete misnomer and false. |

| You (Deadpool?) and TK make it sound as if Bell was 100% funded and built using private funds. It wasn't. Not even close.
You (Deadpool?) and TK make it sound as if Bell did not receive and abuse exclusive access to public works and rights of way. Absolutely false.
The well-known BCE "about us" link is hardly a source. |
