Everything is give and take. If they are given this reprieve the carriers should have to prove their plan on how much build-out they'll commit to over the next 5 years.

The big cellular companies benefit, and rarely do they benefit from ANYTHING without the customers taking it in the shorts.

The big cellular companies benefit because the cost of service for the consumer goes down. But the biggest benefit by a tax cut of this type is the CONSUMER! This means your town or state can't levy new taxes on your cell phone bill.

I'm amazed when people see tax cut and immediately associate it with a corporate win. I look forward to New York not being able to levy further taxes on my cell phone bill -- I pay around a 20% tax rate already!
