Re: AT&T-esque juggernaut taking over as usual

said by robertg1234:

One day, Judge Harold "Equal Access" Greene will rise out of his grave and come save our poor souls -- again. But of course I'm dreaming with the choke hold co's like Comcast has, and their knowing that will never happen until The Second Coming ...

btw: US vs. AT&T and the MFJ are sadly lacking in details on Wikipedia. Too bad since it's such an important milestone in U.S. telecommunications history.
Oh come on! Ma Bell was broken up because AT&T wanted to go into the computer industry that it was banned from. It wanted growth at all costs, even if it means tossing away your terminal profit assets. It was a SETTLEMENT not a VERDICT!!!!!

Lets pretend in the USA an ILEC isn't allowed to own any cellphone companies. Then the ILEC has some tax irregularities and someone didn't get their campaign contributions that election cycle so the DOJ starts a court case. The DOJ and the ILEC negotiate an agreement that the ILEC will sell off its last mile, and buy a cellphone provider.
