| 00:00 - 00:03 | With 41% market share |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | We should be getting |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | 18 billion dollars |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | Our fiber assets are everywhere |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | And we can preserve |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | our markets by simply |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | fudging the FCC fabric data |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Chairman Whitacker |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | States |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | are suing the FCC |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | They claim we are misreporting. |
| 00:53 - 00:58 | Who told them? All leave except Lee, Loung, Gillespie & Arroyo |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | You've ruined my bonus |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | I told the board this was free money |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | And you're telling me that puny states like Georgia will protest. |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | We should have squashed the Marconi Society last year. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | And now we have to compete? |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | This violates our core monopoly. |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | We may have to replace |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | our aging infrastructure |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | With equipment that actually works. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | And provide real customer service? |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Chairman, we could buy from China |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | And outsource to India? |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | You mean invest? |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | Upgrade our ifrastructure? |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | Have guaranteed response times? |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | This would cost us billions. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | Far more than we'd get from bilking BEAD. |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | We would lose market share. |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | We would have to learn to compete |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | None of us would ever get another bonus, ever. |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | We might have to find real jobs |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | I could never do a real job |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | I've never had to do honest work |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | in my life. I've always |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | been a corporate parasite, leading |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | our company to managing the FCC |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | we spend 200 million a year |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | helping them to avoid hard decisions |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | And now, you tell me we give up our monopoly? |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry, counselor, we can sue this out |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | It's those stupid state Directors |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | They never accept bribes or hookers. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | They're honest. |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Our monopoly is over. |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | Check with our Chinese suppliers |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | See if India will talk to us. |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Maybe we can raise retail rates. |
