Re: Big Bells are back!!! Because the Bells have their monopoly profits to pay for it. There is a big difference. They were given a HUGE advantage when they built out their networks. They then have that to fall back on to prop up other efforts.
Plus, they are the incumbent (again, monopoly benefit). They only need to get someone to upgrade, vs. switching for the rest of the CLECs. They can lay fibre and have guaranteed customers for it, even if they just transition over old copper people.
Additionally, if they transfer customers to the fibre and are not forced to share, they can completely lock out any form of competition.
