Re: ATT Woes
Rob raises a good point.
Most cities operate their own waterworks; not quite such a high percentage run their own trash pickup but I'm pretty sure it's well over 50%.
In greater Boston, a few communities have tried privatizing, with very much mixed results.
It would not surprise me at all if telecom as an industry fails just like passenger railroads. The question, in that event, would be whether we want the Feds to pick up the pieces, or our local communities.
I'd go with the local waterworks model, if it comes to that. |
