| Re: lost commerce Consumers havent paid for any upgrades. In your monthly bill, you pay for your current services and to make sure your company makes a profit each quarter and if the company so deems it, puts away some for future upgrades. They dont have to save for future upgrades but most smart companies do but the majority of the monthly bill is to show a profit to make shareholders happy(remember, they are a FOR PROFIT company). Telco companies in almost all states are only required to service you with a dial tone so if you get dsl be happy about it. Cable is unregulated so no one can tell them what to do since local governments cant tell them what to do in negotioations anymore. No, consumers havent paid for anything but what you currently have. Again, its not the telco or cable companies job or responsiblity to make sure other companies make money. Remember, broadband is not required to live, its a total luxury, the excuse of..oh you need it for school and to do reseach and blah blah...that can all be done on dial up or at your local library where they have free computers with internet. | |

| Re: lost commerce Really? So the American people haven't given these greedy bastards over $200 billion dollars in "government incentives" over the last 20 years alone to provide broadband on their promises?
Remember back in the late 80's they were begging for this so they can deliver 20mb to a vast majority of the country. This was their asking, it wasn't us begging for it like we are now. Where is that 20mb (not very common)? Where has all that money they begged for and received gone? Where is the accountability for those promises and failed deliveries?
Nothing has changed and it never will until they reimburse the American people the billions (if not trillions) of dollars we "gave them" for the networks. WE built the original network based on incentives and monopolies. No matter how many times they change it that fact will never change or transfer ownership. Especially when they continue lobbying and getting OUR money through "incentives" (not just monopoly/duopoly profits). | |

No, that is a lie spread by people that can't back it up. That number was pulled from a place where the moon doesn't shine. | |

| Re: lost commerce Well unless any of us were present when they presented this then we can only "assume" it was a big lie.
I guess with that mind set they never screwed over anyone and have always provided just as they have promised.
That is honestly the best you can come up with? Contact some of your phone buddies. They can surely provide you with better than that. PM TK, I am sure there is a school or something he can send you to. | |

Do you think someone would have written up a contract setting exactly what was to be done by all involved? Yes they made a law, the law is public record, the original law has been amended, it also is public record. Ask Teletruth to give you a link to the law, it is fascinating reading, I could not put it down. | |
