Re: Qwest

Do you honestly think so?

I just want to highlight the theory of the great SBC management when it comes to what they THINK they have.

Here's an article from SFGATE quoting SBC/AT&T:

"AT&T is investing $1 billion in California alone to deliver the future of communications and entertainment services," said AT&T spokesman Ted Carr. "Our competitors are investing in a platform of the past."

They somehow believe that fiber to the neighborhood to copper is superior to fiber to the node over coax. Cable has been offering, essentially, the same technology as what telephone HOPES to enter the market with for years, and AT&T calls their service the "future" and cable the "past?" I have to laugh my ass off simply because while they are trying to, essentially, push service through the internet to the consumer, cable has a multitude of services running through that so-called "technology of the past"... AT&T is getting desperate.

Qwest will never, in my opinion, get to see the bugs in the SBC system other than service over twister pair isn't the way to go period from SBC.

I believe Qwest, again in my opinion, will eventually (years from now) invest in a fiber to the home or curb solution vs copper or simply fold and sell out.
