    Ha! We have an ironclad strategy for improving the cost/value of US telecom services.

    All we have to do is keep pouring the contents of the US Treasury into Iraq, and very shortly that poor shmoe paying $200 per month in Podunk USA will have the satisfaction of knowing he's spending less than half for that connection than you would. Little girls in Chongqing China will be buying American made Barbies and their moms will be worrying about whether the plastics are made from genetically modified corn, which will also enable urban Americans to support themselves with government subsidies not to grow in pots on their fire escapes.
