Re: Great but...
I suggest you read their proposals...now whether or not they do this is another story...but they ceded the information willingly...
By December 31, 2007, AT&T/BellSouth1 will offer broadband Internet access service
(i.e., Internet access service at speeds in excess of 200 kbps in at least one direction) to
100 percent of the residential living units in the AT&T/BellSouth in-region territory.2 To
meet this commitment, AT&T/BellSouth will offer broadband Internet access services to
at least 85 percent of such living units using wireline technologies (the “Wireline
Buildout Area”). The merged entity will make available broadband Internet access
service to the remaining living units using alternative technologies and operating
arrangements, including but not limited to satellite and Wi-Max fixed wireless
technologies. AT&T/BellSouth further commits that at least 30 percent of the
incremental deployment after the Merger Closing Date necessary to achieve the Wireline
Buildout Area commitment will be to rural areas or low income living units.3 |

| This will be great if this is happens but I hate that they slide the satellite in there, seems like a cop out by rebranding someone elses service to be able to say hey looky we have 100% broadband penetration. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and if we do not have DSL in the next 4 years we are moving. That is when we decided to set a mark for our family to look at buying a bigger house and what not and I will never make the mistake of buying in a non-broadband serviced area again. That was my mistake for not checking more closely and following up on little details and so I live with it. |

Wonderful, DSLR should just close right now since we have 100% broadband availability penetration already in the USA, through magical ATT birds flying 200miles up in space. Wildblue's logo is blue, i wonder if a merger with ATT is in order. |
