SCOFFLAW TERRACOM G.M. ROBERT ROWLEN IS DROPPING ME AS A LAWFUL LINELINE SUBSCRIBER !! Terracom Wireless, a Registered Oklahoma Corporation, and Public Utility, is a LIFELINE "provider". Before we do business here, as usual, let us first acknowledge Mr. Ed Magedson, the Founder of RIPOFF REPORT. Thanks to Ed Magedson, and his hard-working staff, American citizens who OBEY THE LAW, have a redress of grievances, and a way to make crooks, thieves, con - men, con-women, phonies, and crooked Government Officials wish they had not harmed us.
Nothing disinfects like Sunlight. And, here, we are going to shine some of that Sunlight, on Robert Rowlen, the so-called " General Manager " of the incorporated business, TERRACOM WIRELESS. TERRACOM WIRELESS was, and is, an Oklahoma business, put together by four Guthrie, Oklahoma men who looked for a "get rich quick scheme ", and found one, in a potentially very fine Pulic Service platform, that the Federal Communications Commission calls, LIFELINE. Let me make one thing perfectly plain, here.
LIFELINE is STRICTLY a TAXPAYER DRIVEN platform, that allows economically disadvantaged Americans an opportunity to have LANDLINE and WIRELESS service, at a substantially reduced rate. Rates, depending on the circumstances, are ZERO, to about FIVE DOLLARS PER MONTH. The State and Federal Governments pay the balance.
That is entirely fair. Why ? Because the American Federal Government wastes TRILLIONS of DOLLARS each year, on silly, stupid, wasteful things, like, keeping an International Space Station alive and kicking, so that we can say, we LOVE to keep Russians, South Americans, the French, the Germans, the Albanians, The Greeks, the Italians, and everyone else, in Outer Space, because we have so much. We make rockets.
We make Electric Cars, 2,500 mile per hour airplanes, Heart Surgeons, and 200 Million Dollar motion pictures. I guess we still have to prove that, even though we have no Space Program, we must keep a million pounds of hardware floating in low Earth orbit. LIFELINE, is a Federal and State program that saves lives, and improves people's lives.
Each and every day, LIFELINE program saves lives. Period. CELL PHONES save lives, and CELL PHONES keep the Elderly alive, and keep them from depression, and help keep people involved in their interests, friends, and families. LIFELINE, in every way, is worth the cost. LIFELINE does not cost. It pays. But, here is the only problem. LIFELINE, whatever it is, is absolutely saturated with stinking, rotten, lawless individuals who get into the LIFELINE business, because, principally, the fact is, that most States do not control CELLULAR TELEPHONE BUSINESSES.
It's Political. As a result, crooks, clever ones, stupid ones, get into the business, because they're simply out of control. Beyond control of the States' Corporation Commissions. OKLAHOMA is as good an example as you can find. TERRACOM WIRELESS is a LIFELINE provider, in the most rudimentary sense. They got into the LIFELINE business, because of one reason : The Oklahoma Corporation Commission cannot and will not control this Public Utility.
As a DIRECT consequence, TERRACOM, and their alter-Ego, YOURTEL, being operated by lawless crooks, played it fast and loose, with taxpayer dollars. Dollars that could be spent to help people purchase groceries, buy physician visits, and buy prescription drugs to keep people alive, was being shoveled into $200,000 dollar autombiles, $ 5 Million Dollar homes, and $ 25 Million Dollar private jets.
That's right. Your money. But, Robert Rowlen, and his crokked cronies, got caught, red-handed, with the goods. Red-handed. This is not merely "sour grapes". This is PUBLIC DOMAIN fact. The FCC dragged Rowlen, Dale Schmick, and Richard Yurich, into a Maryland Federal Court, and grated these crooks, like Cheddar cheese.
In the end, Schmick, Yurich, and Rowlen, were given a choice. Pay back the money they 'invested' in their luxury lifestyle, or, do a term in Federal Prison. They paid. How much ? I'll tell you. These crook paid One Million Four Hundred Two Thousand Dollars ( $ 1,402,000.00 ) You know how long it takes the average LIFELINE subscriber to earn 1.4 Million bucks ? About 40 years.
I have been a LAWFUL LIFELINE subscriber, since 2012. Since then, I have, and the other TERRACOM subscribers, in 14 states, endured countless dirty tricks by TERRACOM, which includes the filth purveyed by their 4th rate Service Contractor : service interruptions. They REFUSE to act on customer problems ( please see my earlier complaints !!! ). In 2012, 750,000 TERRACOM customers were without service, for THREE WEEKS.
Did TERRACOM, and the human filth that runs the thing, apologize, or even explain ? NO !! No explanation, no apology. TERRACOM beleives that they own us, you and me. That's what they believe. And they have good reason to think that. They are not answerable to OKLAHOMA LAW. As such, they really believe that they can do whatever they wish.
After SEVEN long years of their non-sense, lawlessness, and refusal to obey the guidelines of the UNIVERSAL SERVICE ADMINISTRATION CORPORATION, a not-profit entity that serves as a watch-dog for these LIFELINE providers. And, now, ROBERT ROWLEN has decided to vanquish me, a LAWFUL SUBSCRIBER. And, I'll tell you why. Because THIS subscriber takes his law-breaking to the PUBLIC. I have reported his lawlessness to USAC, to the Federal Trade Commission, and to the Federal Communications Commission.
Next week, I reach for even more assistance with TERRACOM. If croopked Rob Rowlen gets his way, my last day with dear old TERRACOM, is June 29, 2019.
Thanks, Ed. For everything.
