Re: Uh, Yeah...
said by Chris 313  :AT&T still doesn't get it. They just need to break down and FTTH themselves to have any chance. 25 mbits is already too little for TV and data. Verizon is the only one who has a chance Vs. AT&T. Me thinks AT&T does get it. What they'll do is to let Verizon spend all their cash building this magnificent network, then wait for them to file bankruptcy and the new mega mergered AT&T will step in and buy the whole company for 3 cents on the dollar.
Didn't you ever hear of @home?
Now it's @AT&T using the same exact formula for success. 
AT&T is probably more in the business of mergers and acquisitions than even the phone business at this point.

This is very unlikely as Verizon has way more money than AT&T and Verizon isn't stupid they aren't going to push FIOS to the point of bankruptcy. Anyway AT&T will die long before FIOS drives Verizon into bankruptcy, which won't happen anyway. |

ATT? wrong it's SBC who has consumed ATT now its called ATT to fool all of ya. Creative and clever aren't they? Here's a little hint. within 2-3 months from today BellSouth is no more. Their price stinks and the customer are paying more then they should.
ATT has ceast to exist long ago. You are living in fantasy land if you believe they are still in existent. |

Or similar variation, but less far-fetched, they'll let Verizon build this magnificent network. Verizon will pay the high "early adopter" costs and SBC will wait for cheaper next-gen FTTH technology.
It doesn't surprise me much that SBC is holding onto copper. They dumped millions into Pronto/RT rollouts. To ditch copper altogether means the money spent on those things was money wasted.
