Supreme Court Rules Against Community Telcos
acherrington writes "Today the Supreme Court ruled against a group of Missouri communities offering telecom services where it is prohibited by Missouri law. At least eight other states -- Arkansas, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia -- have similar laws. Today's ruling will most likely result in more lobbying by the Baby Bells at the state level to stop community-sponsored telecoms who are fed up with poor service and monopolies."
Heh, Free and Bush in the same sentence on Slashdot. Man that's funny.
It all comes down to the adage, "if you can't innovate, legislate!"
bush doesnt support free markets, he supports _free monopolies_
Sure it can change. Thankfully, the majority of Americans are not stupid enough to allow it.
