US providers can sometimes have pretty crazy discounts.
What I want to know is why can't phone manufacturers stand up to these mobile providers? Apple doesn't let carriers do this crap.

I think political offices should come with a reasonable wage. Otherwise it becomes impossible for non-rich people to fill the roles. (This is more applicable to local, smaller offices)
I propose a simple solution. Take the median salary of their constituency and make that the pay. It should make it livable at least, and give incentive to get that number up.
For offices such as Senate/Congress where they need a second house because of the frequent travel between DC and their constituency a housing stipend is in order.
It's not all about the WAN speed. Having fast LAN speeds is always worth it.
