| AT&T Loosing Money Case and Point:
AT&T is Loosing money, and cutting costs anyway they can. 12,000 employee layoff the demise of AT&T CallVantage. And i don't think that Flickr just hands out pro accounts to AT&T because their special. I think SBC oh excuse me AT&T should change their business plan and stop pulling a Qwest and catering to their ilec markets and be like old AT&T and cater to nationwide markets. If you want to take the AT&T name, well act like them dammit, or your going to loose money. |

| AT&T DSL is available as a CLEC solution (powered by Covad) in many places in the United States still. They get the same "benefits" (portal, email, etc..) that AT&T Southeast ILEC users have gotten for a while (that AT&T acquired in the BellSouth merger) |

| I have the AT&T "Covad" Solution....its from old AT&T and if you ever go to their member services page..well for one its hard to find and its not updated much..and when i call customer/tech support,,thank you for calling India....The case and point is in CLEC territory their phone is another Ilec, in my case Verizon/Fairpoint and their internet is Covad. So all im getting are the benefits of a Covad member. Nothing more. |

Yahoo! isn't doing so hot either, though. Both companies aren't doing so well, at&t comes to Yahoo! asking for a lower price, Yahoo! comes to at&t wanting more money, either way the inevitable result is features start getting dropped. |

Did the old ATT ever build out their own CLEC DSL network or always leased from Covad? I know CLEC ATT offered local voice, wouldn't that require colocating ATT CLEC switches in each CO? |

| the old ATT had DSL available when they took over Northpoint. I have no clue if they ever used it. but they did/still do have everything in place.
if ATT was smart they'd return all that equipment back on spin off their ISP business and go nationwide in a few minutes. |
