| Message | Has anyone actually seen how appaling our telecommunications network actually is? Even in Lirath, there is little or no reliable phone service at all... |

| Message | And I'm sure requiring the providers to charge less will allow them more capital to build the infrastructure we need, right? |

| Message | DUP where do you find all this information about "Even in Lirath, there is little or no reliable phone service at all..." |

| Message | I think he assumes it. If you look at the county overviews, you'll notice the infrastructure (railroads, road, communications, and such) are in terrible condition everywhere. By all standards, we have a terribly underdeveloped nation... >.< |

| Message | Which is why I want to invest in infrastructure in our budget. But this ain't the way to do it. ;-) |

| Message | ok, well since DUP increased our taxes by like 250%, we can spend our 2 Trillion dollar surplus solely on infrastructure. |

| Message | Spending on things has no effect at the moment, I do believe that all movments (population, development, health, crime, etc...) are merely random in nature. So, we are all basically arguing about nothing more than a principle. In fact, I don't think that taxation and spending bills even have any kind of effect on visibility.... We would actually prefer subsidising the phone service to rural areas BTW, at least for a time. Once the system is up and running then all you need do is ensure that companies have an obligation to provide a service, and that they charge the same rate regardless of geographical location. |
