the AT$T we have today and the AT&T back then are two different companies. at&t is working really hard on fixing that.

said by hottboiinnc :yah they do. and you ever notice that its the people on this site that bitch? the AT$T we have today and the AT&T back then are two different companies. The at&t we have today is more like the AT&T of the Bell System days then the AT&T of the break up, three different at&Ts. Still it is no longer a common carrier with regulated monopoly status, only POTS is old Bell System.
at&t/Verizon/Quest the old Phone Company is no longer guaranteed a 6% profit and must hustle a buck by selling ring-tones to kids. Never again will TPC be the first with thousands of discoveries that were given away to the public and be the first to hear the song of the universe. quote:
Penzias and Wilson's Discovery is One of the Century's Key Advances
When the intellectual history of the 20th century is written, a few achievements will tower over all. Einstein's theory of general relativity will be one; the laws of quantum mechanics will be another. The so-called Big Bang Theory of the origin of the universe will be a third.
The discovery in 1963 by Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson of the cosmic microwave background of the Big Bang set the seal of approval on the theory, and brought cosmology to the forefront as a scientific discipline. It was proof that the universe was born at a definite moment, some 15 billion years ago.
Bell Labs RIP.
Bell Labs built the first single-chip digital signal processor in 1979.
The Unix operating system and the C programming language, closely intertwined in both origin and impact, were created at Bell Labs between 1969 and 1972.
First introduced by Bell Labs in 1963, touch-tone replaced rotary dials.
Bell Labs was the pioneer in communications satellites.
In 1962, Bell Labs developed the first digitally multiplexed transmission of voice signals.
The invention of the laser, which stands for “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation,” can be dated to 1958 with the publication of a scientific paper by Bell Labs researchers.
While there were theories and activities to harness the sun’s energy dating back to the 1800s, Bell Labs, in 1954, was the first to actually build a device that used the sun’s power to create practical amount of electricity.
In a paper in 1947 Bell Labs was the first to propose a cellular network.
Developed in 1947, as a replacement for bulky and inefficient vacuum tubes and mechanical relays, the transistor revolutionized the entire electronics world.
Since the transmission of the first facsimile in 1925, Bell Labs has explored ways to use networks to deliver more than just voice traffic.

I'm not the one that bitches about what companies generally do.
I would do the same as them and could if i owned what they do.
They're not there to please you and every other customer every second of the day. They're here to make a profit and please their share and stock holders.
You have a choice. It's called don't use them and find someone else or start your own company. The same as others.
You're just one that bitches about how everything should be for you and all the other customers that believe that they should be given what ever they want from companies. and then you bitch and agree with other Indie companies that they should be given free access to any network and everything they want to offer the same service. They have a choice too as Google did with spectrum. Put up or shut up and they did the same as Google. They didnt put up so they should shut up. The same as Batterup said. |

| You're just a troll who insults and provides nothing to the discussion.
So, I like to actually get something for my hard-earned money. So Sue me. I pay them, I expect them to deliver their end of the deal. I'm very reasonable. I don't want anything for free or make demands that weren't part of the deal. So quit the crap, please.
