- nonotreally 6y agoIt can't be that simple. This is a private company. Isn't this where the entire problem is coming from? If this were a state run service, we know the answer and can apply it easily. The confusion is coming entirely from it being something other than the state.

Or just on the basis of the one or more places the company itself is are incorporated? Will they shop around for communication laws the same way they do for taxes?
