Seems to me like good ol government wants to have every major facet of our lives in their control.
See, look at it like this.
Obama makes it so that telecom "owes" the govt by giving them stimulus, which they will be obliged to pay back, when they cannot do so in the way the gov wants, they snatch em all up and make em government owned and run. Then, if good ol uncle sam so desires, he can completely and totally turn off what he wants, when he wants.....its shaping up to be quite the regime.....looks like 2010 just became the new 1984.
