I still haven't understood that one - and unlike many younger people, I grew up with the status quo being different rates for local, intrastate, and long distance rates. Why should it cost more just because the signal crosses a state line or travels further? It's all the same wires.

Back on topic, though, this doesn't surprise me. Big Business runs this country. Don't expect fairness; learn to expect whatever result puts more money into the pockets of our larger corporations. I mean, the Supreme Court has officially given corporations the right to sponsor political ads. And we all know Americans do what the TV tells 'em to.
