I would like to suggest that telecom deregulation is too recent in the US for anyone to be able to infer that it is increasing prices. In the UK, where such deregulation took place a while ago, prices have definitely gone down. My experience of industry is that by and large, they are quite comfortable in a regulated environment, which protects them from competition and guarantees profits. If US companies have no experience of running such facilities in the US, but their competitors do, they lose business. Congress was purchased lock, stock and barrel by telecom industry for the temporary purpose of passing the Telecom Dereg Act.
Money is the only answer.
Start with the Christian Coalition and go on from there. We'll run it as a Special Report, very prominently. Well, the political contributions are a matter of public record.
