At $15K I can see ILECs and Cable companies getting excited at how cheap they can inconvenience Vonage.

boy, do you ever have that right. The Bells soaked up a couple of billion dollars (yes, it's a "b") in fines putting the clecs out of business.

15 grand is chump change to the ILECs and cablecos - they will just ask the accounting department to sweep up the loose change off the floors.

It kind of reminds me of the Michael Milliken (spelling) junk-bonds case during the 1980's. He made twice what they federal government fined him and walked away several hundred million dollars.

I wonder what specific Harvard MBA class I could take to learn that technique?
