"Universal service" has become as corrupt as other government subsidy programs including crop and tobacco support payments--now going to enterprises often formed around the concept of milking the government payment stream. calvoiper -- VoIP--the death knell of remaining voice monopolies!

The government (whether Federal, State, or Local) does quite well providing universal services to the citizens. It is pure right-wing bullshit to say what you said. Damn -- and here all this time I thought that the utility providing my electricity was Dominion Virginia Power. At least that's the entity to which my checks have been written. And yet all along it was the "gubmint"... -- That which does not kill me merely prolongs the agony.
