I personally did not like the 1984 breakup of AT&T but now I'm used to it. I lived through the loss of Pacific & Nevada Bell to SBC and our service here became worse. PacBell plans to improve things fell to the wayside and SBC/AT&T was stagnant in our market. So I doubt the AT&T purchase of Southern Bell (oops, now call BellSouth but why?) will do anything but slow progress down as AT&T becomes busy absorbing BS (bad initials, isn't it?) and other areas like mine continue to be stagnant/ignored.
Which leaves cable to steal away telco business. I already use Vonage as my primary phone (reliable, good voice quality). If Comcast rolls out a good VOIP service, I might go with them. At the moment, AT&T is my last choice. They are so busy buying other telcos that they give me really no reason to go back to them. |
