I have posted for many years that the RBOCS treatment of the new dot.coms was not only the single most important cause of the dot com crash, but also that it was wrong to tie the hands of attorney's for the small companies under the guise of the "Telephone Deregulation Act" and because of the Molassass Mentality of these Government Controlled Monopolies, all tech companies have been damages, and you people just sit there... 130 years and these people who are protected gave us the Princess Phone. Well, now you have it the FCC has levied THE BIGGEST FINE EVER IN ITS HISTORY against sbc, SIX MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!! SBC takes in 44 Billion dollars a year... that's 14/tenthousanths of one year's income!!!! Think of all the companies they put out of business, and all the money shareholders lost and compare it to that MASSIVE fine. Your government tax dollars at work! And the poor companies like worldcom who were dumb enough to believe that the telephone deregulation act was something more than shuck and jive got burried deeper than campaign finance reform. Vote for Duke and I'll put an end to all this junk.
