Mcalester, OK | Cingular is the cell phone division of Bell. How does a fiber optic install hurt the Cingular cell division? And how can Bell even use the word monopoly in a defensive statement?
This is blackmail in every sense of the word.
Either the Bell's need to be brought back to a regulated utility or they need to be turned loose in a unregulated competitive market. As of late, they are enjoying the best of both worlds which only hurts the customer and pads the pocket books of the stockholders. Their arrogant mode of behavior is proof positive that the consumer is suffering for the hybrid status of telco's.
I would just as soon see muni's build their own fiber networks. At least the customer would be better served in that they would be closer to the management, ie. elected officials and have more ability to see the customer is once again the number one reason the service provider exists at all.
I say do away with all regulations and protections granting telco's guaranteed existence. Make them compete in an open market like everyone else.
Or better yet, let the municipal government take over the companies assets under eminent domain and get rid of the greedy telcos. When the people are threatened as Verizon has most assuredly done, the government definitely has the right to squash the threat.
SQUASH VERIZON! |

Since when did this thread become about Verizon?? Your opinions on the Telcos are clear, but would it be possible for you to stick to the subject of this thread??
Sheesh!!!
