Well it looks like once we get closer to the bottom that we might be willing to "not take it any more!"

VN8 my friend, ..."One step closer to absurdity"??? VN8 my friend, we're WALLOWING in it!!!<BR/><BR/>Yeah, Jim is correct about the FCC proposal, but a little misleading in that "Safelink" is not even mentioned in the 1984 proposal. What was mentioned was support for landlines and subsidizing the so-called "lifeline" service. Safelink, aka "One Phone Per Will-not" was not the intent until we needed a place to pile all that free cash we're billing our children for. It then became a simple legal maneuver to "attach" it. Since cell phones are more hip than landlines, it's a sure thing for buying votes in 2010, unless you're paying for it.<BR/><BR/>Cellular telephones did not exist to any usable degree when the original lifeline draft was written.<BR/><BR/>We should label things what they are instead of deceiving taxpayers. As Han Solo said, "I prefer a straight fight to all this sneaking around!"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045677288563865851.post-61750740647093295252009-03-05T23:04:00.000-05:002009-03-05T23:04:00.000-05:00This is wacked.This is wacked.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3045677288563865851.post-81788067478500281612009-03-05T13:17:00.000-05:002009-03-05T13:17:00.000-05:00I too did some research and you are correect but I...I too did some research and you are correect but I do not believe this is what they intended! Surely to God they did not expect anyone who has low or no income to get a free cell phone. Only one cell phone per addrees please! LOL. If you live in an apartment it's first come first serve, only one cell phone per building! I can't wait to hear more about this one!

SafeLink is part of the Lifeline program established by the FCC back in 1984 during the Reagan administration. They added the SafeLink wireless version last August under the Bush administration and rolled it out first in Tennessee.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01779197916443212469noreply@blogger.com
