Re: Can you say Anti-Competitive youre' kidding right? It's a digital network and voice is carried via IP i.e. voip so its all data anyways. Its not rocket science, think about it. Even if you're using an analog house phone everything is converted to IP anyways to save on bandwidth over the haul. Actually take the time to research or go on some telecom forums and read, you'll see. I bet we have a few phone tech reading thru these and I bet they can even give the specifics of their networks doing. |

kudos:3 | No matter what is said "technically" here matters.. and is not valid to the point I was stating. It's not a "voice centered network" when they are selling a voice service and a data service. To me, the consumer, dropping $59.99 a month on data, it's a data network. When you spend what ever you do on voice, it's a voice network. I could care less how the back end technological points work. If they stopped selling voice service, then its a data network, right? And, if you say, as you did, "it's all data" then the problem lies with the fact they are over selling services they shouldn't in the first place.
It seems now we're getting into a semantics game. It is now becoming who's paid-for-services are more important than the others. If there isn't enough room for both on the network, they either need to upgrade the network's capacity, or stop selling a service, data, that they can't sell in the first place.. IF it's impacting the network's voice services.. that is, if VOICE is more important to them. (Or, better yet, raise the rates to something more sustainable and plow money into the network to increase capacity) This is one of those times where morals actually do play out in business. |
