So this is the extent of debate on telecom policy? It all boils down to "HATE THE TELCOS".



"One of those carriers who aren't sitting on an iPhone monopoly and praying that the 3G network doesn't completely crumble before 4G is ready (you have been investing in 4G, right? You sure as hell aren't spending anything keeping 3G awesome),"



Really? $17B in 2009 that AT&T spent on wireless 3G infrastructure going onto $19B in 2010. Let's not let the facts get in the way of our "HATE".





Damn these EVIL Telcos with 6% to 10% profit margins and over a million employees. They all need to be good like Google and the other dotcoms and be more stingy about capex and job creation so that they can have 20% profit margins.
