| I'm really starting to hate the telcos more and more.... and our judiciary system. Why are these knobheads allowed to payoff politicians to make things more rosy for them.
They need to compete on innovation and price not by paying off lobbyists.
Total BS.
These types of antics make me never want to be a customer of AT&T. |

KICK THEM ALL OUT!!! |

Actually the best solution is to not give them any more spectrum until there are some guarantees in place that they will properly serve the public interest. |

Welcome to politics in the US. Government always has been and always will be by the corporations and for the corporations. Why? Simple economics. He who has the money to put into power who they want will always win.
Yes, I'm a cynic, I know. It doesn't make it untrue. |

You're half right. Money buys the lobbying and political advertising, but that doesn't win an election. To do that, you need a large supply of easily-swayed people who vote based on nothing more than those ads, and we happen to have those kinds of folks in spades. |

And what's your definition of "properly serve the public interest"? What kind of guarantees are you looking for? Sounds like potential for a huge step backwards for innovation if you ask me. |
