| Of course BellSouth doesn't like it..
1) They passed a law to make sure that nobody else could put anything better than 128kbps. I smell Bell South (BS) lawsuit pending, warranted or not.
2) Its actual competition.
I don't have a problem with it. Bell South could have deployed something, however, BS appears to be the most slow moving, monopolistic, anticompetitive telco in North America. |

BellSouth did deploy wireless. It just wasn't free which is what everyone here hates.
And BST has some of the largest DSL availability of any company. |

We hate the fact that 1) they successfully lobbied for such a corrupt law 2) they attacked the free NO mesh when it was still under water, only to protect their monopoly. |

| 1) BellSouth has dial-up internet which the gov't would directly compete against using a taxpayer funded network.
2) The NO mesh network was mainly operating in areas that never went under water.

Umm I never thought you will take it literally...
How about reflecting on my points...?

Yawn. Being such a BS-mouthpiece and arrogantly spouting its - usually deceptive - propaganda instead of answering at least ONE of my points is really making you look foolish, believe me... |

| What point have you made? Your errors have been pointed out already and you barrel on making the same erroneous statements.
BellSouth opposed a taxpayer funded network that competed with them. It competed in them mostly in areas where service was restored or wireless service comparable in speed and cost to a landline was offered.
As I said, you're ignorant of the situation and swearing and stomping won't make you any more of an "expert". |

And what is "erroneus" actually?
The fact that BS lobbied for its granted monopoly or the fact that BS fought against the temporary free muni mesh after a catastrophe?

After recognising the classic blueprint of BS-spin in all of your reactions one can only wonder who do you work for... |

That's not a bad price. |

temporary means it comes to an end. So you should be happy BellSouth didn't fuss after the catastrophe and made sure it stayed temporary. |
