I agree with your point, its questionable whether it was worth accepting the

My point was that NTIA/RUS was not discriminating against small providers

Yes... and to go a step further, if the business doesn't qualify for a
bank loan (or leasing, or whatever) then they probably shouldn't be in
business in the first place. If you can't show a profit and make a

Conventional means only needs to consider Profits for Stockholders. There is
more to life than short term stock holder profits, when looking at economic
