TB, quit assuming that just because you have choice in California, everyone does.
Everyone does not live in California. Jeez. My sister lives in a small town, very small. They only within the last couple of years got access to DSL. And choice? None.
Sure I have choice in the KC area but not everyone lives in big cities. There's a whole world out there outside of California and big cities. Visit it sometime.
You're like a clone droning on about statist power grabs. You'd obviously rather have the corporations in control. They wouldn't be so benevolent.
