    Pretty Good Trick

    The Telecoms using money that they got from their customers, the public, to subvert the honest legislative process that was intended and use the system against.....the public. Kind of like the drug companies using part of the money they get from the sales of drugs to advertise to the public to get them to use....more drugs. And on and on. Why don't they create some good will by doing the honest thing and reducing their prices? Oh yeah, I almost forgot, greed. It's the capitalist way.
