Faisal, with all due respect, (and you know I do) - Mark is right. We are not phone companys. We are PRIVATE, independent companys with volunteer subscribers. Are you saying we have already lost? The fact that we are even having to have this conversation in "the land of the free" is sad. BTW: I dont read Mark's post as a tantrum. It's hard for anyone to comment on negative news in a positive light. P.S. It looks like Bell fared well against governmetn lawsuits: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Graham_Bell
