I'll remember that equation, though you may want to include a few variables:
St - Stupidity on the part of telcos
Su - Stupidity on the part of the potential userbase
n might also be divided by a factor of what kind of telco they are
for instance nIc would refer to number of incumbent Cable cos
while nIp would refer to incumbent phone cos - again they play by different standards, so variables may prudent.
as to politicians, probably wise to distinguish between Federal, State & Local (pF, pS & pL) and whether or not their last election campaigns were funded by the telcos -O for owned and B for broke. To clarify, pSO would designate an owned State policitian, while pFB would denote a Federal Politician with no hope of keeping his/her seat.
