Discounts for small business etc in C-block ----------------------------------------------------------------- //The FCC offers a 15 percent bidding credit to "small" businesses (annual gross revenues averaging under $40 million for the last three years) and a 25 percent credit to "very small" businesses (average revenue below $15 million for the same period). Thus, there are plenty of good reasons to apply for credit status and nothing to lose by asking. That was apparently the reasoning behind Omnipoint's chutzpah-laced effort to convince the commission that it should get the "very small business" discount. // ----------------------------------------------------------------- People who are in wheel chairs, or people with a gender deficiency or people with enhanced protection against melanoma, or tall people and fat people and thin people should all get discounts too. Don't forget those who are bald, ugly, dyxlexic, lacking lactase or have other minority status should also be given discounts according to the size of their bank accounts, breasts, penis and femur etc. Didn't the Feds get enough trouble with their last absurd effort to auction the C-block? Here they go again! Maurice
