Why Everyone Should Hate Cellphone Carriers

The Byelorrusian Spamtrap writes "Wired Magazine's made its position clear on the state of play in America's cellular industry, delivering a long, satisfying screed on why all of us should stop complaining and do something about it. 'They own politicians - Sure, it's just phones. In a world where worse things happen all the time amid the muck and despair of human existence, having to pay for premium text is hardly worth worrying about, is it? You can (and should) opt out, and not sign on the dotted line to begin with. But today's cell towers might be tomorrow's Pony Express: they're TV stations, internet access, emergency 911 and news networks all rolled into one. WWAN could well end up supplanting copper sooner than anyone expects: do you want these companies in charge of it?'"

Conservatives spewing Anti-American hate speech? Ok. You can be a liberal or a conservative or whatever you want to be. Just please dont confuse them. Conservatives, whatever faults you might attribute to them are not the ones spewing anti-American hate speech. You would be thinking of the hard core fringe liberals there. Not meaning to push one agenda over another here but at least lets get the things we can all agree on right.
