    Who re you to determine what obscene profits are? Lets see, it costs me 5k a year to work, I make 100K a year so my profit on that must piss you off. I mean, obscene, right?

    OR, maybe there are other things going on.

    But the telcos serve the ENTIRE NATION, and those costs are spread out over all their customers.

    The cost/fees are fine, for what we have based on the current economic model for private companies. really, you should be focusing on getting to declared a common carriers, and having the Feds provide infrastructure.

    No, your point does not stand at all
    "15/5 is shit. The speed should have been doubled years ago and the price should be substantially lower.
    based on what? Until you can explain why there total infrastructures cost, current in ground maintenance, rolling out fibre, support, employees, local competition can all be cheaper. Also, how much it it after local fees and taxes?

    Really, it should be an infrastructures item for the Feds, like roads.

    Those places pay for the over all infrastructure served in smaller markets.

    Non of the places you list are not countries. Try to understand that. They can't say "update all infrastructure"

    " to allow near monopolies"
    you really have no clue how it works do you? You can't get good speed or options? That's a LOCAL government issue. Usually city, sometime county.
    The FCC doesn't set that.

    That's funny, becasue I get calls from other provider to try and offer me lower prices. I like the quality and service, so I dont mind paying a bit more then the competition is offering.

    50/50 50 a month.

    Also, the Netherlands government system makes it easier for them to dictate infrastructure issues.

    It's complex, seemingly more complex then you can handle; which is fine. Could it be better? yes. Should it be a common carrier? yes. DOes the FCC dictate local markets? no.

    Yes. Many people sight Star Trek as a driver for them going into STEM.
    It's the imagination, setting, add possibilities that did it, not becasue Warp actual exists.
    Whist ST is given WAY to much credit for devices that have come out, it was very inspiring for a generate of kids.

    Yes, the only choice is STEM or shyster.

    Sarcasm.. fail.
    I was being sarcastic to the original poster who said:
    "Animals know that if they show weakness in front of a predator"

    Looking at the data from these tests and the study, the poster is implying that predators are male.
    Which is false in many species. i.e. anything that eats mice.

    I keep rereading my post and really don't see how that could be read as anything but sarcastic in the context.
