Lost in all of this discourse (including the Snopes article) seems to
be the fact that "we" own the airwaves and the bandwidth and have,
through our government, sold that bandwidth to commercial enterprises
at a very favorable rate, in some cases none at all. I understand
that companies that provide the services deserve just compensation
for their activities,
Just check the price of a T1 and T3 line. The 'companies that provide
the services' are getting just compensation.
but the overriding concern should be that we are protected and given
the best access that can be obtained. I hope that there's no evil
afoot here and that our elected representatives are not welcoming
bribes to favor certain well-heeled vested interests,
I think we've all heard the old phrase, "follow the money"!
but I have yet to be convinced that this is not the case.

Question..... Why would anyone spend millions to get a job that pays
a couple hundred thousand a year?
Another question..... Where do they get the millions?
