| Observe, offer, and lose?
O posted this in the BellSouth FastAccess forum, but it seems more appropriate here. A section from one news reporting agency:
"observe "network neutrality" principles, an offer of affordable stand-alone digital subscriber line service and a promise to give up some wireless spectrum"
These sound like a hollow concession. Observe principals, but what laws provide assurance they will not observe and deviate? How about we pass a law and take them to court every time the violate it?
Affordable standalone DSL product? The last time AT&T offered a standalone DSL product (in CA?) it was as, or more, expensive than the DSL product bundled with POTS. This examples how AT&T operates it's idea of concessions.
Give up wireless spectrum? They will probably give up portions of the wireless spectrum not needed, like antiquated or redundant in utilization. To me, these three items seems about as weak as one could imagine as concession-offerings.
I see no sincere offering here. Of course, I hadn't expected much more than hollowness in sincerity. |
