Re: So when are SBC and Verizon Merging? said by Linuvas:
Someone please check me on this but isn't the entire nation now more or less controled by 2 mabey 3 ILEC's? I thought Ma Bell got broken up?
Actually its 4- SBC, Verizon, Bell South and Qwest. That doesn't count the small town companies like Century Tel, etc.
The territories were drawn out by regulators- preventing local competition until 1996. It's only been 5 years. Long distance competition has had 17 years to develop now.
Give it a chance, things will BLOW WIDE OPEN sooner or later.
