Re: Oh, give it up already Many, many years ago (prior to divestuture), when I worked for AT&T. At that time, 90% of any decision like this was made based on engineering. While much has changed, from what I hear, the engineering concerns are the primary factor in making deployments. It seems to me that they could not redline even if they wnated to. |

| don't forget state regulatory groups, NIMBY's, etc. etc.
I love how cities like Baltimore whine about not getting some hot new service, and then once that service comes they whine about it being deployed too slowly, having boxes in yards, tearing up streets for trenching, etc...

Regulation? In Maryland?! Don't take this personal but that's laughable. If regulation even hinted at existence, BGE wouldn't have been able to raise power rates by 5.5%... then another 80%... then another 100% on top of that - in a six month period for a total 185.5% rate hike, without some form of regulatory body coming in and saying "Now just a minute, what the hell is going on here?". Now I know the power company and a telecommunications company have absolutely nothing to do with each other but the principle still applies. |

| Actually you can blame the general assembly for that. They are the ones that sign a contract for rates to be frozen for 7 years. Do you think the shark will not eat when given the chance. For those 7 years that everyone else was getting steady rates increase you guys didn't get one. And now you are going to cry about it...
Government is to blame here, and most of the time with everything else they are at fault. I bet they told verizon how they wanted things done and verizon told them where to put it. |

Considering my bill personally went from $65 to nearly $200, yeah I'm going to lament over it. If that's wrong, sorry that it offends you. |

Cities like Baltimore, eh? And what kind of cities are those exactly?
