Re: THERE AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH

Like any good CEOs Ivan and Ed are quite adept at the 'smoke and mirrors' testimony.

What you and Seidenberg/Whitacre fail to mention is that Verizon/SBC doesn't even provide BB services to some of the areas affected by its outright muni bans. So preemptively usurping a community's right to provide broadband (or any utility) to its citizens--when private companies aren't providing said services--is okay in your book? (This is America right?)

And last time I went to vote, I didn't see either Verizon Inc. or SBC on the ballot. So they don't get to write any laws. Sorry.
