Who wrote the checks for the 2005 inauguration fund? According to the Public Citizen's Congress Watch, these companies in the communications space contributed. A number of lobbying firms did as well and Piper Rudnick is the only one I recognize in telecom although there could be others. Pretty interesting reading.
