didn't "sell" politicians on the idea, the politicians sold out to AT&T and Verizon. How much did AT&T and Verizon pay the politicians under the table for the laws? Being a state politician must be a lucrative position -how much do they collect under the table in a year?
You might be surprised at how cheaply you can buy a politician, at least in Kentucky. KY oldtimers may remember the infamous BOPTROT scandal, when a bunch of legislators were caught in an FBI investigation. The Speaker of the House was caught on videotape saying "Bless your heart" as he took his $500 bribe.
