| More crying by the bells Waaaaaaaaaaahhh...
We don't want you to compete with us, so you can't! Oh, and we don't want to build it ourselves. If I can't have it, then no-one can have it..
Anyone with a 2 year old (or a corporate apologist) understands the emotional state these crybabies are in. If it's not their, then it's no-ones!

| Re: More crying by the bells Well, if you were a stockholder then maybe you would be crying to. Exactly how should a publically traded company react? Also, I hope some of the Portlandites cry as well at the costs for that buildout. Its not cheap and they will be the responsible party picking up the bill.
One of the interesting things about the popular muni broadband is the myth that a) everyone within the municipality wants it, b) they all want it at any cost, and c) the muni thinks market penetration is substantial when reality often shows that it isn't.
I'll taking crying stockholders over corrupt city politicians anyday. | |

If you think corporate execs (especially Qwest) aren't corrupt, I have a nice piece of beach front property here in SLC to sell you.
Don't be shocked if Qwest begins to lobby for legislation against muni-fiber projects in Portland a la UTOPIA.
Regarding muni broadband myths, UTOPIA is beginning to tell the tale... we'll soon know what is myth and what is not. | |
