Re: I say

It's corporate welfare....
The benefits are very visible in areas served by Rural Telcos. The benefits are invisible to none in rural areas underserved by the RBOCs.

Note to eddy whitacre: Your company sucks wind in the rural markets in Kansas.

The problem is, it's already passed. The enabling legislation is in place, and all it takes is 3 of the 5 people at the FCC to agree to impose it.

Now look at it this way: If you were a bureaucratic functionary in the government, at a likely high-water mark for your career, and your staff told you that if you vote "yes" on this proposal, you'll have several extra billion dollars to play with and make some of your (ersatz) friends happy, what are you going to do?

Yes--this is the sad state of affairs our government has been reduced to.
