<>Should Universal Service subsidies extend to groups which provide educational materials or support for educational organizations, such as universities and colleges or community centers? Absolutely not. Before we pursued this path very far we would be destroying competition and the private economy by selective subsidies. The subsidies would also have become so prevalent as to be totally unaffordable (or insignificant since all list prices would rise to provide the universal discounts.) -- ----------------------------------------------------------- K.F.Hammer Associates Ken Hammer management consultations St. Johnsbury, VT 05819 ----------------------------------------------------------- ** Ignorance or Apathy?
