I agree, but communications is a necessity in todays world, and its futile to go up against these huge communication carriers like AT&T. There has been consolidation in carriers, especially after legislation passed in congress during the early George W. Bush years, so carriers seem to be gaining in power all the time. All these carriers are regulated by the FCC, but I don't think the FCC gets into regulating rates, like some industries with natural monopolies are regulated, (eg Utility Companies), for example). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9e3dTOJi0o Regards, LelandJ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
