I don't know if anyone else agrees, but I think the present setup is completely half-assed, benefits nobody but the corporation, and their terroritiality really fucking irks me.

I've thought that the networks (e.g. the phone line systems) themselves should be the property of government, while allowing private companies to charge fees for the connection and providing services, and allowing private companies to expand network which will be sold to the government with some profit.

Best of both worlds: We get just one network without having to duplicate network or pay hefty fees to use another network, making upgrading and maintence much easier while we get to choose among competitors, regardless where we may live, and there are plenty of incentives for competition among companies.

While I'm dreaming, I'd like a pony, too.

Bassplayinfiendmac- Just because FCC doesn't agree with me doesn't mean they're right. As far I'm concerned, they're bought and paid for by Ma Bell.
