:That I certainly won't disagree with. They've got a significant infrastructure disadvantage against the cable cos, pure and simple. That's why they're always playing catchup
FIOS doesn't have that disadvantage, but even in utopia FIOS is going to take years to get a decent deployment and market share.
This is the biggest reason I support the ATT/BellSouth merger. The two apart, especially BellSouth, are going to have a next-to-impossible time finding the resources to catch-up with cable. This is even more true when DOCSIS 3.0 finally rolls out.

Heh, the reason that they are feeling the pinch now is because the Tele-Co's have made a lot of silly decisions based on their current bottom lines rather than thinking of the future and spending money to make money like most successful businesses do.
