Don't forget about the Company that brings you FiOS TV
While all of you praise FiOS, don't forget who is bringing it to you. The same company that has:
•Short ringtones at $1.99 / year when the full song is .99 on iTunes
•2 Year contract lock up on cell phone renewals
•Cell phone usage reporting that is impossible to decipher
•Locked phones that will not allow 3rd party services or customer downloadable apps
Allowing them to take TV franchises without any checks and balances will bring the same business practices. Forget the schools, rural areas, municipal channels, etc. |

I kind of wish they would "sit on their ass" but they seem too busy taking their ass to the courts to sue communities that want to impose any type of regulation on a roll out. |

Come out from under that rock and get reintroduced to the world. It appears to be evolving without you. |

said by nasadude :don't blame local municipalities for the U.S. broadband market sucking so much - blame the telcos that sat on their @sses for so long with regard to rolling out advanced services. This is not Ma Bell, this is the new at&t. The new at&t has to make money, as much money as possible. If that means sitting on their ass until they get what makes good business sense that is what they will do. 1st to 16th is the price, Ma Bell is dead and yet the people bitch. |
