[Elecraft] [Bulk] OT: Verizon's response to Net Neutrality: in Morse code!!

[EricJ]

Nobody has explained it any better than you have in this short 
paragraph, Scott. This is a national resource and the American people 
should be the beneficiaries. The ones everyone seems to be forgetting 
are the customers--the American people.

Everything's always about corporations anymore, not ordinary Americans. 
Someone said they should make money the old fashioned way. Yea, by 
satisfying customers, not by manipulating our laws in their favor.
