There is a loud minority (but a decently sized minority; 2000 of 12000 have sent cards in) who are.

The big concerns (from what I have seen) is lack of attention to scope, communication, and sending too much $$$ to National without getting it back and subsidizing smaller carriers.

The recent LEC elections can have an impact on scope(In upcoming Sec. 6), communication (there has been a HUGE improvement in that area, with more things coming soon).

IMHO, the gorilla in the room that the DPA'ers will still see is the cash to Herndon/subsidizing issue.

I do not speak for them, nor do I agree with all of their claims, but that is essentially what I have read/seen posted.

I personally recognize the tremendous strides made by the newly elected LEC members and the MEC Chairman to improve things wherever possible, I believe improvements can be made within the existing structure, but some truly do not believe it is possible, thus the movement.
