dispatcher21 join:2004-01-22 united state	reply to Tsume Re: lost commerce "Spent mainly on increasing profit instead of what it was intended to be spent on" What was it intended to be spent on? From my understanding the tax untax we were forced to pay on our phone bills had nothing to do with broadband, it is for the phone portion of the telco business and it was not intended to be put into an upgrade fund, it was intended to help the phone companies maintain the network at hand and allow more people access to it. Again, you only have to be serviced with a dial tone and they have met the inteded purpose of the "tax not really a tax" fee since it has nothing to do with broadband but with dial tone.

Skippy25 join:2000-09-13 Hazelwood, MO	reply to dispatcher21 Tsume is correct and you are speaking on something you obviously have not researched or kept up with. They received a couple hundred billion dollars at their request and promise to deliver symetrical 20mb broadband. Not this crap we have now. Do you have any idea how much "profit" these guys have reported in that last quarter alone? So why are they being subsidized at all?

Post a link that does not lead to Teletruth as Teletruth does not list where it pulled the information from. Post the agreement between who and what. You don't even know who or what do you?
