Re: Free ride for smaller co's said by huntml:I'd agree with you if the incumbents gave back all the free easements, free spectrum, eminent domain awards, direct government grants and patent licenses, etc., they've received since the beginning of the 20th century. Free? I believe a lot of money changes hands for easements and spectrum licenses. Eminent domain actions aren't free. Grants, depends on what you're referring to. |
