One senator? The entire telecommunications subcommittee and the FCC can't make a dent - what's one senator going to do?<br><br>Money Grubbing Nickle and Dimeing douchebag corporations. Anonymous should stop fighting Scientology, hack their bank accounts and bankrupt them and then go after the RIAA, MPAA, Cell Companies & Cable Companies. Get us faster, cheaper and limit free internet, unlimited cellphones for less money and bankrupt the RIAA & MPAA and donate all the money to charity minus a few hundred million that they give to me as a "consultation fee."]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[MadMike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 10th 2008 12:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Senator opens inquiry into rising text messaging rates]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/senator-opens-inquiry-into-rising-text-messaging-rates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/senator-opens-inquiry-into-rising-text-messaging-rates/</guid><description><![CDATA[How about the fact that incoming SMS was free on AT&T in 2003 while 5 cents with everyone else and rate plans went from $40 for 600 or more minutes to $40 for 450 minutes shortly after Cingular acquired AT&T?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 10th 2008 4:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Senator opens inquiry into rising text messaging rates]]></title><link>http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/senator-opens-inquiry-into-rising-text-messaging-rates/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2008/09/10/senator-opens-inquiry-into-rising-text-messaging-rates/</guid><description><![CDATA[To make more money.
