Bruce Kushnick: "Time to break up the communications trusts?"

http://j.mp/lEXqs5  (Nieman Watchdog)

    "Telecom analyst Bruce Kushnick says Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast are
     dragging down the nation's economy and bilking millions of Americans.
     The chief firms in the communications oligopoly got $340 billion to
     upgrade telephone and broadband systems but have almost totally
     reneged. Instead, they manipulate data and buy support from experts
     and citizens groups. In response, regulators on the federal and state
     levels ... well, there is just about no response."
