Not right? Even a moderate like me can see that SBC has no obligation to provide FTTH. It's "not right" that our free enterprise system hasn't stepped-in yet to solve this market snafu. That's up to you and me kid.
Actually our free market system has stepped in by virtue of the golden rule. SBC has the gold so they're making the rules. As was said earlier, they're sitting mighty pretty so they have no need or incentive to upgrade especially for working people who can't afford to pay a wheelbarrow full of money for it each month. They'll make just as much off of the paired copper as they would fiber only without the investment.
