Voip development has been held back for a few years. This makes the market dull, which makes you poorer.

I think that Verizon, at least, will sell me DSL+VOIP.

DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!

How is it that the Republicans have gone from 'fiscal conservatism' to 'corporate philantrophy'? This is the largest corporate welfare present with a bow on top since Haliburton got to 'repair' Iraq.

[ It's especially funny how if a person needs help because their environment has changed, and they're in financial trouble, they're freeloaders and we need to cut programs designed to help them and alter the bankruptcy laws in negative ways. But if a corporation is in trouble for the same reason, because something happened to cut into their bottom line, it's all good to bail them out and hobble the new industry. A large number of republicans can't even honestly claim to be in favor of free markets anymore. They're just not. -k]
