Re: So Indict Powell...

$93,000 for each home.

I'm betting they could put DSLAM's that serve whole small towns in for less then that.

Everyone knows USF stands for Universal Slush Fund. No wonder the Telcos want cable companies and IP companies to have to pay into this fund as well.... more Slush for them.

Kennard never upset the RBOCs, they prospered during his tenure and the Carlyle Group doesn't hire consumer advocates.
Kennard works at the Carlyle Group.
