| Message | Please let us bring this to the table again. The DLP is willing to consider another option, subsidies for low income families but no regulation on prices. This may result in higher subsidies being necessary however and is not, in the opinion of the DLP, the best option. However we fervently believe it is necessary to provide for Jelbania's poorest citizens. |

| Date | 19:54:27, April 24, 2006 CET | From | Free Conservative Party | To | Debating the Regulation of Phone Services (II) 2218 |
| Message | No. Why should someone pay for someone else's phones? 2nd option would be better, but I would still vote "no." |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
