And this fund's surcharge just went over 14% for the 1QE for 2010 for the first time in the fund's history. Almost wholly driven by the increase in the low income program for which TracFone is responsible.

If you read the Sullivan Report it shows that by giving a cell phone to the poor you can help them to find a job and /or earn more money on a job, especially if they are low income earners. I am all for helping these people to become independent earners so they no longer have to rely on the government.
