At&t didnt compete with Bellsouth. Thats why the merger went through. It didnt reduce the number of companies providing service. Comcast wants to buy out the competition. Thus, reducing the number of providers...
And Comcast doesn't compete with TW, Charter or Cox. Hardly anyone lives in an area where there are 2 cable companies. Comcast competes with DirectTV which is allowed to have more than 30% of the TV market. If DirectTv had 50 million subscribrs would the FCC be stepping in and preventing that? No. If at&t or verizon had 50 million Tv subscrinbers would the FCC be trying to stop that? No. So exactly what is the difference?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163488 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:50:12 EDT Re: AT&T didnt Compete http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163396 Paulg : Comcast is doing exactly the same thing as AT&T, expanding their footprint.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163396 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 09:26:59 EDT AT&T didnt Compete http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20163379 NewMariner : At&t didnt compete with Bellsouth.
