Re: Finally "More breaks?!?!" Ok, let me see if I get this... Saying that, "yes, Mr. BOC, you can invest billions of dollars in a network and we will not nationalize it and make you "share" it..." is giving them a break?
Harkening back to the days of the old monopoly is getting really really old. If you forgot, they broke AT&T up 22 years ago. The CLECs could have used those 22 years to invest in infrastructure or diversify. They did not.
The real competition is not between ILEC and CLEC - it is between DSL and cable, wireline and wireless, cable and satellite, copper and fiber.
I pay $46.95 per month for DSL and unlimited long distance - those two combined are less than my AT&T wireless bill. What, on the face of this planet, as a consumer, in your wildest dreams, could you possibly have to bitch about if someone wants to invest billions in more infrastructure and not be forced by a bloated, political, regulatory agency, to share it with people who do not have enough sense to invet in their OWN businesses...? |
