Money well spent.

The Phone Company used to spend money on things like Bell Labs. Bell Labs was the premiere pure research facility in the US of A. Among the tens of thousands of patents granted to Bell Labs were two for the transistor and the laser. All patents granted to Bell Labs had to be released to the public domain because of AT&T's regulated status.

I for one think America would be better off with The Phone Company spending money on world changing inventions then lobbying.

I could agree with that except for one small word: "THE".

Give it another five years, resistance is futile, prepare to be assimilated.

Okay.

I'll cave in if THE Phone Company hands out cute fuzzy puppets like Karl Bode See Profile puts in the headline...
