Paying more for a local provider is certainly not absurd.  To the
contrary, if individuals follow only a path of least resistance,
individually, then crime and organized exploitation predominates
in the society.  It is child's play for a gang or organization to
take over.   It took great sacrifice to establish our system of law
which Bush violates.  It took great sacrifices by labor unions
to win labor rights that we enjoy.  There are countless examples
why you WANT to sacrifice, to stop Clearwire.

By the way, the nonprofit sector is like 10% of the labor force
and americans give $300 billion of charitable contributions/year.
It really is amazing. People are a bout more than money i guess.

Gary said, "other big businesses are guilty of the same thing.."
but McCaw was the ringleader in bringing Bush to the region.
McCaw and the 200 cronies at his house, are literally the
cause of Bush's actions and policies.   Bush is an agent
for his particular supporters.

McCaw is so heavily tied to his Republican business network
that consumers' privacy and security on his Clearwire internet
service may be compromised.  They know every bit of your
communications, who you're connecting with, and exactly where
you're located, and it's all in easily analyzed data formats,
rather than voice or video.  That is a lot of power and the Republicans
have every intention to exploit that to the max.
