Re: Non government funded muni-wide systems are OK

What private ones. Verizon and the like receive so much support from the gov't via loop holes and regulations, etc. -- they might as well be an arm of the gov't.

These companies aren't "private" in the sense that your local dry cleaners is private.

Re: Non government funded muni-wide systems are OK

Could you post some specific evidence of that? It's not that I'm doubting you, but it's all rhetoric until the proof arrives.

Yes I can.

How about this for starters:

»Picture Perfect Deal

This was done due to Verizon having the state politicians in their pocket.

And this:

They get special laws passed just for them. How bogus is that. They wine and dine the politicians (which is really bribing them) in exchange for laws just for them.

 How about this:

Why would a Senator do this? Cause the big telcos buy them (ummm, I mean lobby).
