| Am not taking the telco's word at face value!
I hate to say it, but i've heard the same story time and agian that the ILEC's have promised broadband service in the rural areas by a time scale that was probably made by using a ouija board and some dice.
Hrmf.
Until I see the permits being applied for and surveyors marking the right of ways for the cable and RT's, I will stay ever the pessimist and the telcos in my sights.
They have rolled us time and again with their loaded promises, wanting subsidized allotments, deregulation, or anything that would line their pockets with the green shit, only to walk away saying they don't have the time or money to fulfill their promise. We learned that the hard way when then-Prez Clinton gave them nearly 8 digits in subsidies to improve their infrastructure. What do they have to show for it so far? Nothing tangible, only a few places that actually benefited from it, the rest of the money simply disappeared with a tangled paper trail to follow. |
