Re: hmmmmm.... said by ptrowski:Again, I don't advocate adding them, it is more of a statement saying at what point can they get away with using the "but we are not REALLY a phone company" excuse? Never, hopefully, because they are not a phone company. They don't own or maintain a POTS network, and I would imagine Comcast Digital Voice to Comcast Digital Voice calls never touch the PSTN. Its analogous to saying a satellite company is really a cable company, because they it also carries channels that let you watch TV. The end result may be the same, but the two are entirely different animals.

For the cable vs satellite comparison we are talking about the delivery of data, not really the way it is delivered.
