Re: While the natural reaction might be
In other words, The Death Star bungled it. When it's all said and done, if they just would've gone the FTTH route and obtained local franchises instead of trying to cut corners they would be much further along then they are now.
If AT&T is forced to obtain franchise agreements from local municipalities AFTER they've installed U-Verse equipment in said municipality they're, um SCREWED.
The local powers that be will see they have AT&T by the balls, and you can bet they will squeeze.
AT&T will have no choice but to pony up, or lose millions of dollars on equipment that will become obsolete before they're allowed to use it.
Such short sightedness. Someone at AT&T should be hung by their Brooks Brothers suspenders for it.
Oh wait, that CEO left all ready...

| I feel sorry for dish users if the user takes over. Ha you will soon have to buy the 40 dollar phone package instead of just the 5 dollar no phone line fee which is bs. From what I see dish is a good company. I wouldn't pair it with the likes of crappy cingular |

Well now you know why they want to own a satellite company !
They can open up their dsl offering and bring Hd VOD via the dsl service. And use the home zone box to deliver the tv from the satellites.
It can be a very good deal if done right. But it really is scary to see how they dropped the ball and should just stop the dsl roll out.
In my mind using home zone is a great idea. Use the dsl for VOD and avoid the local contract for cable tv. Since it can come over the internet it can free at&t.
Now they stop stringing these crappy dsl services and buy dishnetwork , roll out home zone with the dishnetwork gear with VOD , and move over to rolling fiber to the home for voice , and data , and maybe even tv for people who can't get the service because they are being blocked by trees.

DirecTV is doing VoD via the Internet right now on a limted basis, inc. an HD channel. All you need is an HR20-700 and the software. You'll see it opened up next yr to all HR20's.
So, at&t has already missed that bandwagon. |
