Following your analogy, Mcdonalds got federal funding to build all its stores, and land given to them by the goverment, while Burger king had to buy everything and build on its own. Mcdonalds should now get whatever concessions Burger King gets in reguards to fair play field requests based on the previous fact? Thats like saying I should get a raise because another guy Tom was given a raise since we both do the same job, when Tom was given the raise because I make more than him!
Yeah, personally I think they should rework the Universal services system to include broadband access. It'll never happen, but god knows it would get some of those bumpkin independents actually trying to do something useful for once.
Yeah this is exactly what I would like to see, all the lecs split into Wholesale and retail, and actually make the retail buy from the wholesale like the rest of us do. Their infrastructure is not really theirs, but was installed using our taxes, they should not then controll it exclusively.

The cable companies did not use federal funds, nor are the wireless groups getting subsidized currently. Please include facts in the future =)
