Re: They admit they owe money .... What would you know about it. Telco's have consistently provided service at cost to drive independent ISP's out of business. We were the companies that brought the internet to small and medium sized towns outside the "Top 20" markets.
When DSL came out and our customers asked, we went to the telco's and they charged us on a per line basis the same price they were charging customers who went directly to them.
Now tell me how was my company supposed to pay to install separate phone lines to the 30k homes in the city we served?
Phone lines were taxpayers subsidized in many locations. It should be a copmany that managed infrastructure and all ISP/PHONE/etc should compete over services delivered across that. |
