Your article is strictly against CenturyLink an TWC, but you do not say why the bill is bad, just you don't like it. I don't like that "phone" companies have to spend money to serve everyone, but "cable" companies can pick and choose where they go. There's good and bad with all companies and politics are in everything, good and bad. That's life.
Uh... the phone companies never even built their own lines. Those lines were given to them by the breakup of Ma Bell.
NOT all of them. Cinci Bell was NOT part of the Bell system. Many others were not either- Sprint Local was NOT created from the break-up. MANY rural areas that are co-ops also were NEVER a Bell company.
