Google: Telecom-Funded Study Can't Be Trusted

You're pretty much doing the same thing.....Besides the phone companies are still benefiting from the telcom act of 1996. Written to increase competition in actuality reduced it. If you wanted to enter a new market you had to open your network up to the company you're trying to compete with. Well the companies got around that by just buying the companies in the market they wanted to compete with. This eliminated the competition.

I don't have a "real" choice for my phone service. I have to go with verizon. If I want to go with vonage I have to drop verizon DSL because they will charge me to keep my phone number and add a surcharge for using vonage. If I drop verizon all together and go with time warner I have to pay more for the internet and lose my number.

My heart isn't bleeding for the phone companies.....any 17 year old would know that a company paying for a study is going to make sure the results represent their best interests.
