found this today.. http://news.cnet.com/8301-1035_3-10173072-94.html ...

basically its about the begining of a propasl Obama is working on, where he wants to raise the fees for sprectrum license holders.. itll cost em 50million for 2009 and jump to a whopping 200+ million for 2010.. and continue to increase to 550million over the next 10 years....feel free to read at the link.. again this was loosely outlined today.. please lets keep this about the comments im about to make and ur comments about this relating to us and the networks, not about some kinda of political thing... thanks all

ok so, here my take on this.. cell companies, should this go through, will have an unexpected increase in fees imposed on them of 150 million dollars, basically instantly im sure theyll(carriers) consider it... how do u think carriers r going to respond? hopefully they fight tooth and nail to not allow this to happen... my guess is rates will go through the roof...

were already gonna feel the crunch with asurions rise, well alot of us anyways... but that our own fault as it is anyways... but carriers wont just start shelling out that kinda money without finding a way to incur some, most, or maybe even all of that new added expense on US... i think we all know some sort of ridiculous rate hike wouldnt be above our lovely(yeah right) corprate carriers moral standards...

if this goes through, which i hope it doesnt, one would think a cricket,metro, and these smaller companies wouldnt be able to afford such an increase in fees and would hence go under due to it..

i would definitely expect a huge rate increase if this makes it through... follow this one closely...

what do you guys think??
