I don't see that. There are areas that aren't profitable enough for those companies. Though I'll bet all major cities will be served by either AT&T or Verizon on the telephone side (once Qwest gets bought out by one of the two) and Comcast on the cable side.
I'll bet the opposite. If I win the bet, you talk about it on BBR. If I lose, I'll pay my then-current internet bill to you for a month. Should only be about $150
reply to Karl Bode VZ nor ATT want Qwest nor CenturyLink. ATT is happy with what it has and VZ is as well (for the most part). Qwest should take and merge with CenturyLink the others. Maybe even take on a cable company with the merger (After all CinciBell bought an Overbuild Muni cable company about 2years ago)
