Re: No 900?

"Now what they would like to do is use my pipes free, but I ain't going to let them do that because we have spent this capital and we have to have a return on it,"

"So there's going to have to be some mechanism for these people who use these pipes to pay for the portion they're using. Why should they be allowed to use my pipes?"

I think carriers can put blocks from your number to 900/976 numbers as they can stick a large $$$ on your personal bill (p0rn ?) »en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Premium-ra···e_number

What the fuck are you talking about? This is about a broken compensation system, not some wet dream of yours.

Try stating it next time instead of posting irrelevant, off-topic shit you post everywhere then.
It's not off-topic, that's a quote from Ed Whitacre the head of AT&T in re Google and others being forced to pay to use his "pipes." Same Shit Different Verse

A faithful reading of the Constitution does not allow us to pick and choose from among rights we like or dislike, and we bolster our claim on other enumerated and unenumerated rights when we adopt an expansive view of liberty.

FTA:

How concerned are you about Internet upstarts like Google (GOOG ), MSN, Vonage, and others?
How do you think they're going to get to customers? Through a broadband pipe. Cable companies have them. We have them. Now what they would like to do is use my pipes free, but I ain't going to let them do that because we have spent this capital and we have to have a return on it. So there's going to have to be some mechanism for these people who use these pipes to pay for the portion they're using. Why should they be allowed to use my pipes?

Re: No 900?

[Wow, throwing personal insults at people qualfies you as mature? If you notice those little things we call "quotation marks." Those little bits of punctuation indicate that someone else made those remarks and that he is re-stating those statements. In this case, they were made by the CEO of (at the time) SBC, Ed Whitacre.

So how's that make the post-writer juvenile?
