| Any change in regulation is always a double-edged sword.
Let's just look at long distance.
Adjusted for inflation, we'd be paying around $1.00 a minute for LD if pre-1982 rates from ATT were still in effect.
And as for the bailouts, they're mistakes--at least as bad as the unnecessary "subsidy" funds in telecom. Those airlines should have gone broke, and they likely still will.
(Likewise, saving Chrysler just postponed the inevitable and gave Daimler-Benz something to gobble up. And let's not even mention Lockheed, OK?)
