This may help customers who can't get DSL now:
By December 31, 2007, AT&T/BellSouth will offer broadband Internet access service (i.e., Internet access service at speeds in excess of 200 kbps in at least one direction) to 100 percent of the residential living units in the AT&TBellSouth in-region territory. 2 To meet this commitment, AT&T/BellSouth will offer broadband Internet access services to t least 85 percent of such living units using wireline technologies (the "Wireline Buildout Area"). AT&T/BellSouth will make available broadband Internet access service to the remaining living units using alternative technologies and operating arrangements, including but not limited to satellite and Wi-Max fixed wireless technologies. But it seems that it won't be, as there's no pricing on the non-wireline service. So big whoop. E.g. it's no help if I can get WildBlue through them, for more than I'd pay WildBlue directly.
It'll be interesting if folks who get the $10 service get billed the usual BS add-on fees (beyond the usual applicable taxes and regulatory fees) that normally get tacked on, despite the commitment herein.
So who's ordered it? |
