SBC Is Everybody's Friend In Washington
Living down here in Austin, I can assure everyone that we are painfully aware of the situation.
Paul Kapustka writes in Advanced IP Pipeline:
Telco giant SBC may have lost an unusual home-court lobbying battle last weekend, but don't expect that trend to continue, especially at the national regulatory level. Why? Because SBC gives generously to anyone and everyone in political office, something that probably doesn't get ignored when it comes time to craft new telecom regulations.
The fact that SBC spends big bucks on both sides of the aisle isn't necessarily news; but following a link on the National Journal's home page that lists "who's donating?," you can proceed to Federal Election Commission contribution figures for the latest election cycle -- and find SBC on top in telecom giving, with just over $500,000 in political contributions.
