Re: Ultimatum

There is no such thing as a business tax. It is treated as a cost of doing business. The costs are always passed on to the consumer as increased rates. Nothing new here.

Yes, but to pass these costs along, a landline telco may have to undergo a rate case or similar proceeding.

No big deal in a normal world, but a cardinal rule in these cases is that ALL costs get examined--strangely, utilities always bring up rising costs but forget about dropping costs unless prodded.

What Verizon really wants to avoid is having all of its costs examined, for the regulators may find that -SURPRISE!- in a world of decreasing costs for electronic equipment, some of Verizon's costs may be overstated....
