With so many people dropping their land lines and opting for cell phone only, it will be interesting to see what happens when the cell phone system is hacked and taken down.
The blacked out mobile mobs will riot.

since the vast majority of landline usage is business related, it should be paid for by a business income tax or payroll tax, if it should be paid with by tax dollars at all (it shouldnt)

The telecomm industry was give 200 billion dollars-200 BILLION-in tax payer dollars to improve the infrastructure of our telecomms and provide fiber internet to everyone in america. they were supposed to supply us with 45mbps up and down by 2010. what happened instead was 90% profit margins, rate hikes, speed throttling, and anti-competitive behavior. they should be on the hook for their own maintenance because we already paid to have the facilities built.

dont’ worry the mouth breathers in this state will continue to vote for these guys. Why? Simply because they have an “R” next to their name and tell everyone how “conservative” they are.

There is simply no difference between Republicans and Democrats other than they hand taxpayers money over to different groups.

Great article Will, there is so much wrong about this bill, you only scratched the surface. This bill epitomizes everything that is wrong about special interests. We as taxpayers are getting royally screwed on this one and there is very little media uproar or much buzz about it, mainly because even some anti tax groups have sold out to support this
