Re: Can't blame them... said by bodysurf: Why should SBC want to spend BILLIONS on FTTH/FTTP if the Federal Government will step in and force them to resell it to CLECs/ISPs that can sell it for the same cost??
They got screwed before and don't want to that to happen again if they can help it.
If the Federal government cared so much, they'd step in and fiberize/build it themselves like they did the Internet. But it's so much easier to have someone else do it and then legislate them into sharing it.
Sucks.
Ha. The bells never "got screwed". They just didn't want to play by the rules they agreed to. |
