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.

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.
