AT&T Mulling Fiber to the Home? → Re: One Can Only Hope

I'd say they are more than just friends.

Verizon proved the concept. SBCatt is doing it's usual follow-the-leader dance. Since they don't compete with each other, wouldn't it be nice if they banded together to drive the cost of FTTH/P down enough to make it viable for general overbuilding? Now that would finally bring real competition head-on with cable, and the myth of "consumer choice" might actually move to the reality-based world.

By the way, SBCatt has been quietly installing FTTH to new developments for awhile now. If true, this is really just an expansion of that.

You mean something like a national communication system? I wonder if that could work?

How about this slogan, ""ONE POLICY, ONE SYSTEM, UNIVERSAL SERVICE"? The holding company would be AT&T and the system could be called, "The Bell System" after Bell the inventor of the telephone. It's logo could be a bell, brilliant.

How about the slogan "YOUR WORLD, SPIED ON."

That is Bush's slogan, the phone companies were merely following orders.
