AT&T Still Predicts 2010 Internet Demise > Well, its true

Re: Well, its true

nowhere in the article does it say ATT wants more of "your money". It states ATT is going to invest 19 billion more in its backbone network. ATT is a "for profit" company that takes part of its profits and plows it back into the company - just like any other company does. For instance the American Car compaines have spent a ton of monies on R&D latey and upgrading the quality of their product - so too does ATT. whats your beef about them spending 19 billion on their network?

my beef is its all backbone and no pipe to the consumer (you know the people who are requiring the data, also the same group that pays the monthly bill)

Check out this thread as to why this is FUD

it's like the "understood you" in grammar. it's understood that AT&T will be raising prices again soon. the benefits of the merger continue to pay dividends to us consumers!
