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. |

I wouldn't feed G_Poobah he is just a communist troll who will complain about any corporation he has read about with silly, illogical arguments that have no basis in reality. |
