| Message | We believe it is an essential right of every citizen to have all kinds of opportunities. That is why we are keen to maximise education, stimulate the economy etc, so that every citizen who works for it can achieve the dream of owning a telephone. Subsidies are bad. |

| Message | Phone calls and phone lines cost a minimal amount, especially when private and deregulated. In Britain, the phone service used to cost a lot more than it does now. Its cheaper now and thats before you take into effect things like inflation etc |
