Re: Iceberg hit! said by Vesentac:The real problem is Qwest has no money to do the infrastructure changes they need to compete. I say 1-2 more years before they go bankrupt in the current state of the economy. Since Qwest was already in trouble before the meltdown in the mortgage, insurance, and banking sectors, how does this really change anything? Laws require some sort of phone service to the rural areas, but it doesn't have to be modern. I remember party lines. Everyone on the line could listen in. There were different rings for each customer. We have that now, with distinctive ringing, but it was more fun when the phone had a crank on the side to turn a magneto and generate a ring. |
