| Message | So they can phone twice as long for the same price? That's not caring for the poor, that is discrimination. You know how much a manager needs to call? How much time he spends phoning in the car, to take care of his/her business and employees (ie the poor ones that get the subsidies)? |

| Message | So we're going to pay for something but set no limit on the price? This seems like an engraved invitation for companies to jack up prices. |
