Banks, OR | Disaster in the making ... I can see it now:
--Verizon runs splashy commercials all over the media, proclaiming the wonders of their new Cable Service;
-- 2/3's of prospective customers try to order it, but get a "Future Cable Notification Form" page instead: "Verizon Cable TV is not available at your address. Our network is constantly expanding, so enter your name and email address and when our network reaches you in a century or so, we'll let you know";
-- Verizon executives go to D.C. and make impassioned speeches about how Verizon Cable would suceed, if only lawmakers would give them yet another sweetheart regulatory deal ("hey, I know we've never kept our word before, but we promise this time is different").
Can anyone say "yawn"? |
