»en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AT&T
Of the 24 Bell Operating Companies which AT&T owned or in which it held a minority interest prior to the 1984 federally mandated split of the company, 12 will be a part of the new AT&T Inc. upon the completion of their proposed acquisition of BellSouth announced on March 5, 2006

Re: FINALLY! said by dsless:What if ISDN is all you could get? Has to be a min of 200kps according to the concessions. Best you get with isdn is 128. I am going to cross my fingers that they run fiber out my way but I won't hold my breath. I'm between two CO's 30k feet from both. I'm on isdn now. I don't want sat so I'm hoping I'm in the build out area...

Re: FINALLY! Well I find if we did go back to AT&T wireless it won't be like it's predecessor. SBC/Bellsouth at the time bought all of AT&T wireless then. I am kind of hoping they keep the cingular name, but I am not betting on it.
only thing this means to me is more expansion on testing capabilities possibly coming here.
That would be kind of cool, I can already access stats for DSLAMS for 13 states already. I run around and track a lot of stuff down... many here would agree.

Since it includes wireless and satellite technology as well, not so good. I'm not sure they'll roll it out like I(and others) wish they would. So much for good latency. |
