interesting hysterical note

Ran across this researching something this morning. Apparently, the telephone company was able to put off any real competition for many years to come with a sly trojan horse in the Telecommunications Reform Act of 1996. Check out Andy's article for the details. Pretty slick. I hope the author got a big, fat bonus 'cause he's made them a whole lot of money over the past decade (maybe enough even to afford 8-digit salaries for CxOs ... yathink! :-) So next time you write that big check for the phone bill, also drop a "Thank you very much!" postcard to your loyal congress[wo]man who made all those new CxO vacation homes possible.
