Denver, CO | Ah yes... Once again, a Times writer invents a theory so he has something to write about. Once again, he comes off as a moron.
In other breaking news, the sun came up, and 8AM occurred exactly one hour after 7AM.

A newspaper which is part of Rupert Murdoch's Newscorp writes an article taking Google's side against ATT.
I do not TRUST any of Rupert Murdoch's media enterprises, but I will admit to receiving a guilty pleasure reading the New York Post.
I do not trust Google with net based email accounts.
I do trust ATT with my DSL service although it is the price and reliability for which they receive my broadband business not their level of technological advancement which has been nil in my geographic region. |

Re: Ah yes... there are two parts to the WSJ:
the editorial page, generally comprised of the writings of right wing, corporate tools (with the occasional neocon thrown in);
and the rest of the paper, which is still (for now anyway) comprised of stories written by real reporters doing real reporting (not stenography).
I like the news part of the WSJ, the editorial pages are entertaining more than they are informative. |

I would have to say that their server sucks no matter where they are. I had them in Quincy, IL and also in Hannibal, MO and will never touch at&t again. The DSL tech they sent to my house didn't even know what a DSLAM was! "Oh the node can't be over-sold, DSL is dedicated" he said.... and I said "Yeah, up until it hits the DSLAM, then it has a connection to the internet and maybe that needs to be upped". He proceeded to look at me puzzled and then ask "What is a DSLAM?". LMFAO, good service is something you get from companies like CenturyTel and Verizon Wireless, at least CenturyTel has 80% of its entire landline area covered with DSL. |

LOL... your personal opinions trump your reading skills.
Last time I checked the NYT and the WSJ are not even close to the same. |

So you trust a company that will gladly hand over all your calls, and let the government tap your internet but not one that places contextual ads (which nobody even reads or notices).

I prefer papers like Newsday and the Post, which allow me to give my brain a siesta while reading them during lunch.

AT&T is dying. Losing 921,000 lines a quarter? Why do you think they want to kill their union? Wireless is the only gold at AT&T unless you check the CEO's wallet.
I do think the DOJ and FCC will take action against AT&T for blocking Google Voice. That's nothing more than monopolistic behavior.
In the early 1980s, we have the best phone system in the world with .9999 uptime. Today it is .99 uptime.
I think we need to end these exclusive deals. If they are not anti-competitive, I don't know what is.
I kinda wonder when Apple is going to kill their Golden Gooses, fanboys and fangirls, with too many restrictions?
Even Barack Obama made a joke on Letterman that "I won't let Apple release the new iPod right after you paid a fortune for previous one."

Since you might not get Karl's joke, there is intense irony in you decrying the "moron" Times article, when in fact it was a Wall Street Jounral article. Naturally you will never admit to yourself how foolish you made yourself look, but it's nevertheless fun to point out. |

Of course. AT&T is known as Ma Bell after all. Who wouldn't trust old ma??? |

Are you inferring that ATT is the ONLY ISP which caves or would cave to the Gubmint bureaucracies operated by clueless clowns like George Bush or Barry Obama? |
