Re: I say make it fair for all...
Look, voip is a virtual dialtone-- copper dial tone is real dial tone backed up by an electrical current and uses in some intances (still) real switching equipment.. Yes, one day one will replace the other.. but not today and the USF and taxes should reflect that... NO to state sales tax forever.. and Maybe down the road more USF and federal FCC taxes "reasonable people - 2-5% of the service fees" ONLY tied to QOS "QUALITY OF SERVICE" guarantees that you enjoy under electrical current POTS copper service THAT is a level playing field for the conumer as well as the baby bells...
BTW the baby bells are still dragging their feet on fiber based broadband.. anyone can dance a good jig and run cable... but to make it a viable competitive service NO, not today, not tomorrow, the cable companies are laughing at the dance... they can run split nodes at half the price to double throughput so compeittion, Nah maybe in 7-15 years will there be.. |
