Oh Alex how could you? It is one thing to be wrong on the facts, but
to publicly slander an ally based upon nothing but your incorrect
opinion? Thats awful.
I have worked with Bruce, fighting on behalf of independent ISPs, for
over 8 years. FIGHTING TO PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS -- lobbying in DC,
filing with FCC, doing research proving the ISPs were harmed, suing,
holding meetings, speaking at ISPcon, etc. He has done more than you
have to protect ISPs and their access to the public network.
Bruce is NOT financed by the anyone, let alone the CWA. Perhaps you
are confused by the report Bruce published a couple of years back --
which was based upon a CWA report that documented that Vz workers
were being forced by supervisors to obstruct and delay competitor
installs and repairs. This report validated what many of us who used
CLECs like Covad had experienced. This report HELPED bring pressure
that eliminated the worst of these abuses for the past several years.
Essentially, the CWA members were the whistle-blowers who felt what
they were being asked to do was wrong.
Yeah Bruce is nuts -- he's nuts to expect some gratitude from the
people he has labored selflessly to protect. No good deed goes
unpunished I guess . . .

Anything Kushnick writes should be read with a bucket of salt. Not to say
that he's right on many things, but there just as many things on which
he's nuts.
Currently he's financed by CWA, which is far more corrupt than VZ itself.
