| Message | Though on second look, this may not actually be better than the other option--unless the State is willing to really push the envelope with the phone companies and make sure that everyone can afford service. Which I'm sure we'll do. |

| Message | The state as regulater of the economy starts here ? May we remind you that the state is not an entrepreneur. The proposed measurements will damage the service level and harm the interests of our consumers. Less competition means less quality. |

| Message | We try to assist entreprenuership wherever it is, whether it be from the state or from individuals. The key is making sure the state does not have an unfair advantage or that any one individual does not have an unfair advantage. |
