yogazoo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Democrat, Republican, they can all be bought for "pocket change" (in rich-guy speak). After all, MONEY not public interest is the driver of policy in the U.S. That's why I'm predicting a LightSquared victory over time provided Falcone can throw enough money at the D.C. brothel.

Our elected representatives cannot be "bought" however they can be rented rather cheaply. Being bought implies ownership, these clowns change more often than your undies. Quote Link to comment
seldom_sn Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) Does the last paragraph in Jim's link mean that the FCC is going to subsidize replacement of all my GPSrs with ones that play nicely with LightSquared, like they did with analog TV?

+Atlas Cached Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Brilliant. Millions of perfectly good GPSr will be made obsolete over night. I suppose that will be really good for the GPS manufacturers, though, eh? Everyone has no choice but to buy upgraded equipment? Quote Link to comment

I expect that the FAA and the military may not want to make those expenditures, though. And Grover Norquist certainly won't want to pay for them. Quote Link to comment
