Death Valley, CA | DSL Reports (Karl) - The Business Analyst Expert ;-) I wouldn't call it terrified.. I would call it not being stupid.
Karl, if companies followed what you want them to do they would fail miserably. Creating a 1 trick pony is just plain bad for business. Dumb pipe is just plain dumb. New revenue is surprisingly required to increase speeds and address increase usage.
Verizon / Telco shouldn't go into TV?
Cable shouldn't have done triple play?
Level3 shouldn't have gone in the CDN business?
That said.. Perhaps you should continue with your bias news posting expert business logic.
Please tell Apple to stop selling IPODs and get back into the Mac focus
Please tell Google to stop creating Internet apps and infrastructure to get back to Search only
Please tell Mitsubishi to stop doing... everything
Please tell DSL Reports to get back to DSL only
Plllleeeeesssseeeee...... let it go |

| I totally agree with Karl. If the telcos would allow competition then I have no problem with them offering as many products as they want. However that's not their business model. Their business model is forced bundling. You can have broadband, but only if you agree to bundle it with a phone line, long distance, television....
There's something wrong with a company having the soul rights to a pipe and then selling what goes through them. What if your states highway department was privatized and they said every road is a toll road. And by the way, we also sell gas, tires and oil and we're bundling that with the toll prices. Of course you can always fly, so there is competition. |

Valencia, CA | reply to telcolackey5
I do tend to agree that companies, where possible, should leverage their infrastructure to offer low cost/high profit revenue streams.. its pretty logical, in fact that's what most most management/analysts have to do.
I personally wouldn't want any 'corporate' entity controlling my lights/heat/water/fridge/stove, etc.
They would have to pay me to have access to my devices.. as I'm sure that they would collect data, and sell it off to data miners.
