More Whining Baby Bell Hogwash !!!
More Whining Baby Bell Hogwash!
You didn't hear this kind of cr@p when competitive LD companies had the biggest chunks of the Internet backbone, and you still don't hear it from Level 3. You only hear it from the monopolists and their paid lackeys, like Deloitte out-of-Touche.
First, the facilities layer of the Internet is not some "top-down" computer network that can be "managed", "planned", or "controlled". It was deliberately designed to be independent of such factors.
Second, the Whining Baby Bells don't understand such a concept. They are incapable of grasping any role for themselves in communications that does not place them in a position of "control".
The Whining Baby Bells are seeking not only government sponsored "investment", but overall "control". They seek the ability to have government sponsored investment, with enough government sponsored "control" to shut out competitors--either through inequitable access to the investment funds, irrational regulatory standards that only the Baby Bells can meet, or similar exclusionary tactics. They know they lack the competitive skills to win in a competitive backbone market, they fear that backbone will be "just a commodity" (as it SHOULD BE), and they will try anything to avoid those situations.
They are trying to change the face of the Internet, and we must not allow that to happen--because while they might be able to control some of the US backbone, the end result would be a crippled US Internet while the world plays in a truly competitive, open space.

| One small part bought and paid for by some of their larger clients--without doubt.
Consulting is like any other advocacy business--where you stand depends on where you sit.

said by calvoiper :More Whining Baby Bell Hogwash! Well you and Teletruth better get busy and build the last mile so you can control it all. The Telecom act of 1996 forces the right of way open to you people. When are you going to build it? Or are you slopping more Hogwash? |
