$4M is how many minutes of revenue for the major telecoms?

  The telecoms weren't even fined. The telecoms formed an association (of some sort) called Broadband for America; Broadband for America hired an unnamed lobbying group; the lobbying group hired three lead generation companies, Fluent, Opt-Intelligence and React2Media. The lead generation companies paid the fines. See how it works? If not, let me give another example that's more familiar, from movies: The mobster wants someone dead. The mobster tells the head of their criminal syndicate, who talks to another criminal syndicate who specializes in this sort of thing, who hires some outsiders to do the job. The police catch the outsiders, who take the fall; the DA prosecutes and convicts them, and says 'justice has been done!'
