[ga] Is this the Wisconsin politician who can stop VeriSign's perpetual price increases?

Hi folks, 

See:

"In letters to top executives at Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc., Sprint
Nextel Corp. and T-Mobile, Wisconsin Democrat Herb Kohl said Tuesday
that he is concerned that rising text messaging rates reflect
decreasing competition in the wireless business.

Kohl chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust, Competition Policy
and Consumer Rights.
....
Kohl said he was concerned that consumers are paying more than 20 cents
per message, up from 10 cents in 2005. This increase, he said, "does
not appear to be justified by rising costs in delivering text
messages," which are small data files that are inexpensive for carriers
to transmit."

So, who in Wisconsin (or in Washington) wants to step up?

It's clear ICANN's too busy spending our money to care. Another
rubberstamp today:
