Government "Gave" me my life? Really? Telephone? Until we got the government out of it, it was horrendously expensive and advanced none at all. Now, we have services that WERE NOT EVEN CONCEIVABLE to me the year I got married. We've come that far since then.
Copper to my house? Obsolete. Long distance? I haven't paid that in years. All it took was someone with a big enough club to force government to undo what it did "for" us. It could be so cheap and so competitive the cost would be trivial, but no, the pointy headed trolls in DC have to "give" us stuff. You know what? I lived for years far beyond the end of the power and phone lines. Guess what? No big loss. If we'd not subsidized bad ideas for so long, real innovation would have started LONG LONG LONG ago, to solve problems with real solutions, instead of cementing the past into stone with "good intentions". ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------- From: "Philip Dorr" <wirel...@judgementgaming.com> Sent: Monday, March 15, 2010 11:02 PM To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Here comes the really BIG WAVE > Your life?
