Re: Uhhh...
I guess their "free" ride is over, and they don't like it. That aside, let's just tax everything to death.

Navarre, FL | Since telcos have been regulated for a long time, I wouldn't exactly call it a "free ride". And no, we shouldn't tax everything to death. The contrary is a better plan to encourage infrastructure investment, innovation, and expansion. |

| hmmm.... having nationwide infrastructure paid for by tax payers is the definition of "free ride".
edit: that plus a legal monopoly.

| The nationwide infrastructure wasn't paid for by tax payers. It may have been helped via tax breaks, regulation, and the government allowed monopoly, but I definitely wouldn't call it a "free ride". Nowadays, with the level of competition facing the telcos, I don't see why it's so difficult to accept any complaints. |
