WTF, they STILL Haven't gotten enough public comment? !

True. Got to cater to those huge corporations. Guess we need to have twice as many voices as dollars being contributed...

Now, now. No contract phones are great but there's no reason to slam the texters like they have no life. Our modern lives keep us on the go and literally out of touch with the people we care about. I can go days without seeing family members I share a house with. Inanities are the filler of everyday life and while sharing them might seem ... Read Moremeaningless, it's not. It's a connection.
And Twitter might seem purposeless now but 40 years ago IBM and AT&T were completely uninterested in investing in a little something we now call the Internet.
So yes - get a life if you don't have one, definitely read a book, and do something for real - and then share it with someone you care about via any means you like.

And more on topic - in other countries "unlocked" phones are everywhere and nearly every corner has a shop that will "unlock" them for you. Nearly every Brit uses a pay as you go phone and can "top up" their account in any convenience store. The stranglehold American companies have not only on service but on the actual phones themselves is ... Read Moreridiculous - and very wasteful. I think this sudden doubling in termination fees is a sign that more people are actually leaving their contract companies and switching to pay as you go. Good for them.

No. We shouldn't let the government control the internet. After all, look what a great job the so-called free market has done with our health care, our economy, our electrified showers over in Iraq, our privatized prisons. The free market is definitely interested in the well-being of the people. Yeah right! Our country is now of the ... Read Morecorporation, by the corporation and for the corporation. And do you know why prostitution is only illegal when it comes to sex? Because the biggest whores in the country are in Congress and they're not going to legislate against themselves.

Sure, having corporations decide what happens or doesn't happen on the internet makes a lot of sense...NOT!! I'm all for having the Government be very active watchdogs keeping an eye on the Corporate Giants which would do to the Internet what they have already done to Cable TV. If you like the "choices" you get from you telecom providors, just think how they can chop up access to the internet! 100% access for all and nothing less!

Power to us people.

Loved it!

Here are a few reasons.They have horrendous customer service.They overbill.Provide bad TV service.And for the money the worst value of any cable company I have dealt with.

Really? REALLY?

Note to all note-posters... I don't know if this is your fault or not yet, but none of the iPhone users can access hyperlinks in notes without copying and pasting. Just post the links...

Nooooo, REALLY???!!! We actually expect to find no loopholes in any good policy/legislation/etc.? Sorry, feeling a bit sarcastic today.....

YOu hit the nail on the head Comrade! Sad, when will the few top controllers of all the wealth, you know that 1%, when will they realize that what they're doing is not only not in the best interest of the people, it's not in their own best interests in the long run!

That's troublesome in that it's subjective. After all, the word "reasonable" has been used by the Supreme Court to increase searching powers of the police to a point where anything can be stretched to be considered "reasonable".

If the subsidy is allocated neutrally, based on amount of copy and number of readers per outlet, there's no reason why you shouldn't expect to see a range of competing outlets. And they would be independent, not only of Government, but also of corporate owners and managers. I actually can't think of a much better way of ensuring both of those outcomes.

That's why I's an Independent voter.
I've jumped on Newt and Steele more than once, about their party attitude and statesmanship: complementing the enemy's character...

"3 percent of AT&T smartphone customers use 40 percent of all smartphone data, and they consume 13 times the data of the average smartphone customer and make up less than 1 percent of AT&T’s total postpaid customer base." Gee, I wonder why they'd raise their fees? Here's a secret: businesses are in it for the money! Crazy, huh? Don't like it, don't blow your money on an iPhone.

Reason number 364,990 why I am a socialist....
