| | ranting a little much? many of the old schoolers went legit.. there isn't a good reason to risk having legal problems in older years-- unless you need free shelter, food, and healthcare..
pacbell, is majoirty AT&T, the leftovers of the west.. Verizon's..
let it be known that AT&T is still stuck in a technology bermuda triangle and has elements of orwell's 1984 in it's corporate culture. AT&T schelacked tankers of lipstick for what now has more fat from Bell South's underbelly. to what end does AT&T have a joined at the spine love affair with government clandestine agencies? this was never fully revealed.. and may never be... AT&T is a ripe target, Verizon.. not so much.. they learned the hard way about security & got schooled in the nature of telecom from the cable companies. Those companies outside the northeast got lazy & complacent and poor security is but one symptom of much bigger problems.
it's nearly impossible for any one person, forum or public sentiment to be a catalyst that helps remake at&t into a somewhat repected and feared global telecom company (for more of the RIGHT reasons than WRONG ones), but if anyone is willing to try It'd be K.M. |
