Odessa, FL | More BS from BS
Two Tier Internet, against Layfayette Fiber and now wanting to shut down a wireless network that is much needed. Go BellSouth.
No wonder so many hate the unimaginative ILEC's.

BellSouth is just mad cause people would have another option. If you ask me internet providers should just get over it. So what if another company offers broadband there too. People should have the right to choose which provider they use. |

Re: More BS from BS
Ya know its nice seeing all the people come here and rant on about Bellsouth, but when is someone going to start a revolution and stop bitching? It's sad that the goverment isn't concerned about the citizens...

Hey SBC, why stop with putting CIO Greg Meffert in jail, but sue the City of New Orleans and every user for lost revenue. |

The government's main concern is with itself. The citizen concern, if it exists at all, is minimal. |

| For a change let the big gorilla get screwed.
IMO, AT&T/SBC/Bellsouth, needs to shut the F up. They dragged their feet in providing a service in a tie of need.
The gguy that sat the network up deserves a kudos.

And they wonder why there is growing civil unrest these days. With corporations like this stepping all over the little guy, people are starting to take a dis-liking to many large companies.
It's really too bad that people in business have lost a sense of humanity. It's all about the money now. Step over, on, or around whomever you need to get that extra dollar. |

How do your ISP's in America get away with this? Here, BT was forced to allow other providers access to it's network. Now I have a choice of probably over a hundred ISP's. Most of them provide services over BT wholesale but there's also 3 LLU providers and a cable company.

| Tower of Bell-bel.
Behold your communication overlords. Worship me. Put a icon of worship in your homes (phone jack). I am to protect your communication. Without communication, your silly society would fail. But for I, the god of com, grant you use of my system. But heed my warning, anger me and I will bring you to silence ("all circuits are busy. If you'd like to make a call...")
So. If the phone companies feel they are the torchbearer of our communication needs, they are rightfully upset when a local entity feels, "hey, let's take their revenue stream and flow it our way. We can do this. Its not magic. How hard is it to erect our own antennae? Or to use our own VoIP. We can save money from this control phreak god". Yet the locals think they can still connect to the great and powerful voice system.
So began the Tower of Bell-bel ... |

|  Is this real or spin by a N.O. political flunky ?
Now telecommunication lobbyists are trying to shut down the network, and Mr. Meffert says it looks like the state legislature will agree. This whole story rests on the uncorroborated word of 1 person(a political flunky for a proven incompetent lying mayor) with an axe to grind. I'll wait and see if there is anything to this story before dumping on Bell South.

Why shouldn't BellSouth just spend all the cash they spend on lobbyists and build the damn thing. |

Re: SBC - Kick'em when their down
Actually what they'll do is say "It cost us $XXX million to get the Gulf Coast area back online and since we can't eat that cost, we're going to come up with another bogus 'fee' on your bill to alleviate that cost. Oh no, it's not a tax. It's just anohter 'cost-recovery fee'".

I'll wait and see if there is anything to this story before dumping on Bell South. Uh-oh, perhaps you shouldactually read the articles next time? 
quote:
The Washington Post reported last December that as soon as the city planned to offer the service, BellSouth pulled an offer to donate one of its damaged buildings to be used as a new police station, something BellSouth denied. BellSouth has long waged war against any city wiring itself for broadband, but the battle has been particularly fierce in Louisiana.
The voter-approved community-fiber project in Lafayette still hasn't gotten off the ground because of constant BellSouth lawsuits. Recall the the controversy when a BellSouth exec hinted they'd have to pull a 1,300 person local Cingular call-center if the city went forward with the project, something BellSouth also denied. BellSouth also lied to local voters via push-pollsters, as we've documented.
And of course, don't forget to mention this: quote:
BellSouth has been charging $70 for emergency Wimax service in the area if users don't subscribe to telephone service (otherwise $29.95).
You pro-corporate guys are so predictable... |
