| Message | Instead of allowing telecommunication companies to set out of control rates and then partially subsidising it the state should simply regulate charges in order to make them fair. |

| Message | The state should not have to regulate private companies and it is up to the company to decide their charges regardless of how reasonable or unreasonable they are. If they are unreasonable then find another telecommunication company |

| Message | The notion that unregulated companies will compete to charge the lowest price is a fallacy. The reality is that they compete to offer the highest possible price. Why should the state subsidise crony capitalism? We need a fair market. |
