A fan of Bill Morrow's and up until this point, it's been Conroy's mess they are trying to unscramble.

Not only have we thrown out the competitive based infrastructure principles the we had worked on for 20 years, but now we have a new monopoly we are also about to introduce discriminatory pricing too?!
