Re: what I don't get. For the Telco's it's all about survival. They are losing landlines faster than they are signing up DSL customers. It's pretty obvious that DSL will not save them. That's why video and speed are so important. AT&T will be destroyed by that U-Verse and Homezone BS.
One of the previous posters was right. This is a capitalist society. Though no cable company or Telco will admit it, they would all prefer areas with high returns on investments. Don't kid yourself, that's what deployment is, an investment. Business isn't charity. Try to open a well known fast food restaurant. many are pretty picky about where you open one of their stores. Is it right? Maybe not. But you don't stay in business for being a good citizen. Voting is done with dollars now. If you don't have the money, you're stuck out. |
