Donate and half the money (after credit card expenses) will be sent to the FRED Foundation and the other half will go to the Tony Atwater Memorial.  Donations are optional and are commensurate with what your perceived value of this bundle is.  As a point of reference, this type of report would typically be priced from several hundred to several thousand dollars.

This particular report required the combined efforts of more than 20 people, who are involved in some form with the independent telco industry, spending more than 100 hours of their time to devise, administer and report on the results.  Feel free to donate via credit card, or directly to FRED or Tony Atwater’s Memorial Fund by sending a check to either of the following addresses (Please note: “Youth Survey” on the memo section of the check):
