| Re: Good ruling that slows blackmail by local gov't the same thing is redlining. It's still in areas only they believe to make money.
And at$t is too cheap to update those lines in older neighborhoods. And just because someone lives in one of those neighborhoods at$t thinks that they can't pay their bills they should think again. many have cable, internet and generally at least 1 cell phone.
HA! someone from at$t will tell you anything their company tells them to especially when their working. Believe anything you want from them. all a bunch of union assholes that are redlining. you don't see cable doing it. | |

| said by OSUGoose  :I wouldent call it redlining as much as deploying to areas shown to pay their bills That's exactly what redlining is.
Excluding whole neighborhoods based on a credit profile of the neighborhood rather than the credit profile of individuals in the neighborhood. | |

Imperial, MO | Re: Good ruling that slows blackmail by local gov't For most people here, redlining is defined as "They don't offer it in my neighborhood, so clearly they must be doing something nefarious."

| I dont buy it. At least for the North. In the North poor neighborhoods developed where the jobs were. The inner city. Where the jobs were is also where the good infrastructure is.
In my experience this is reflected in DSL CO distances in the city vs suburbs. also, poor people watch cable tv too. cablecos have lots of advanced tech to stop theft in poorer hoods first.
I dont buy that underdeveloped infrastructure argument in Northern cities.

| Re: Good ruling that slows blackmail by local gov't I don't either. It's just that ATT doesnt want to offer service beyond what they want to in the areas that the customers do not meet what ATT wants as a customer or credit rating. I have VARDs all around where i live in my area but go down the street a few miles they stop. Why? The neighborhoods do NOT meet what ATT thinks they should as income. But i bet 70% of them have cable since ATT won't deploy DSL to those customers. | |
