This sounds like it was written by an RBOC PR person to me.  This

also sounds like the RBOCs think they are the <u>only</u> ones who can

provide high speed broadband.  Why would we tax phone service in

order to subsidize broadband provided by cable or fixed wireless

service?  <br><br>

This may be the last straw in convincing people to give up their

land-line phones and go to cable and/or wireless and VOIP.  Maybe

that's what the FCC wants?<br><br>
