| It all boils down to this... It can't get simpler than this: This is a forum filled with people that are self appointed legal/regulatory/telecom experts that bash any information that is given to them by people that actually work in the industry.
This is evident by Karl's embedded phrase,
quote:
Sometimes the bells suggest providing DSL in conjunction with CLEC DSL is technically impossible, often they've suggested it wasn't legal. Both defenses have received ample criticism by users in our forums.
Now WHO, exactly gave the "users in our forums" expert level knowledge of ANYTHING other than the ability to rant about how unfair it is that MCI and AT&T refuse to offer DSL?
I don't see people here bitching that Burger King forces you to go to Burger King if you want a Whopper. If you want to go to McDonalds, Burger King won't let you buy a Whopper unless you go to BK! HOW anti-competitive is THAT??
Folks, it's not anti-competitive to offer a product that your competitors don't. That's called competing! CLECs are able to offer DSL- they choose not to. You aren't required to be able to get DSL from a Bell on your own terms- if you want it, buy it- if you don't, get it somewhere else. If someone else doesn't feel like selling it to you, THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!

| I don't think the issue is about whether or not DSL is available from competition, but that the ILEC's cause all sorts of mayhem when you decide to use anything outside of their services. If you want DSL from a competitor your current DSL services go down. If you want DSL but not dialup from an ILEC you're out of luck. A lot of these things can be attributed to anti-competitive practices.

You're right...especially when these posters who are complaining about the "lack of knowledge" are the biggest sources of B.S. like telcos never taking price increases.
Take a look in the mirror Boogie before turning the spot light on those who aren't full of crap and have a whole hell of a lot more insight like Karl.
