This has got to be the most selve serving self righteous protectionist 
anti-competitive line of Bullshit that I have ever heard.

Bernie; What makes you think you can do it better than than anyone else.What 
was your experience before this? What makes you think that there aren't any 
people left with bright ideas.

It sounds to me that competition is exectly what you are affraid of because 
somebody just might do it faster, better and with better support.

Get off your high horse and get your head out of your ass or you might just 
get steanrolled by some start-up ISP that knows exectly what they are doing
