Valencia, CA | Lets see if I get this straight... This 'video franschise law' promoted by teleco (AT&T) to deploy Uverse worked. I think AT&T also strong armed the state with some threats of pulling its call centers out.
Give it a little bit of time...costs will be as high as the rest of the country.

I am not a fan of AT&T, just stating that fact. |

That's what sealed the deal. Even without the call center, more techs would have to be there for Uverse. Indiana is about the only place where prices have went down. Since AT&T employees get 20-40% off, is that the decrease though? Sure it is part of it. Prices sure as hell aren't going down in Florida.

Give it a little bit of time...costs will be as high as the rest of the country. The strong arm tactics were also paired with a promise to the state to deploy basic DSL to 100 unsevered rural communities "within the next year". A promise they did actually uphold, in December of 2006. The "explosion" of new broadband connections may have taken place, but there's no indication of any ongoing expansion of services taking place.
