Re: Significant implications Right here.
said by systems2000:The Federal Government already has a tax in place that supports rural schools, hospitals, libraries, etc. TAX. TAX. Not an unfunded mandate on the operations of a private enterprise. If you are supporting a tax, then say you're supporting a tax, and the taxpayers unions can get on your back, instead of capitalists like me.
said by systems2000:If the large carriers are allowed to "Cherry Pick' and not service surrounding rural areas, there will not be any service available to those who provide the needs of those in the cities. It isn't the carriers' fault that those areas aren't as profitable, and so there is no justification for punishing them. If you want to provide them special incentives to serve less profitable areas, to make those areas equally profitable, then do so. |
