Conflict of interest

The Washington Post reports that Verizon and AT&T provided cell phone towers to the McCain ranch for free, gratis, without charge.  This would seem to be a conflict of interest since McCain is on the Senate Commerce Committee, which oversees the FCC and the telecommunications industry.  McCain has been a tireless fighter for deregulation of the telecom business.

Gosh, how mavericky!  I get crappy cell phone reception in my apartment--will Verizon and AT&T put a tower on my porch?
