Still fighting against telco's limiting other ISP

[CLIFFORD ILKAY]

This is an example of the art of saying nothing and sounding earnest and 
almost incensed while doing it and implying your political opponents 
aren't doing "something" about it while ignoring the fact that your 
party also didn't do much to fix the problem when it governed and in 
fact, might have even created or at the very least, exacerbated it, all 
the while saying nothing on which you could be later called to account 
on. It takes real skill to do that.
