| Unreal Bush claims his plan will help stimulate small business' and yet shit like this goes on all the time. How the hell can a small business compete with tactics like this? I hope future generations can bring some great entrepreneurs to get rid of garbage companies like this. |

| Yeah, AT&T and MCI are small start ups needing a hand up to compete. Get the dial tone, get the DSL, so go for it AT&T and MCI. You can afford it.
Oh, wait, that would cost money, they'd have to put equipment the space that the ILEC was forced to provide in ILEC buildings. |

Fort Lauderdale, FL | Seems that you've forgotten how the ILEC's/RBOC's were formed; from the dissolution of AT&T. Now the ILEC's want to provide long-distance service. Gee, none of those connections would travel through AT&T lines, would they?

Actually, no they wouldn't. SBC for example has an exclusive contrac with Williams Communications, a company that built it's own network.
SBC didn't because they were forbidden to.

The interesting story about Williams is they were a gas company initially, they dried up bigtime and were struggling until someone got the bright idea to run fiber through the gas conduits already in place. Because of this 95% of their work was done and they rapidly put together a network. At the peak of the telecom boom they sold most of it Worldcom but kept a small chunk, which they used to grow it to where it is today. |
