Re: understand what your asking for folks.
Clearly you speak from a jaded point of view. The baby bells delayed deployment because the technology was not mature enough. What caused them to enter, cable industry inroads with cable modems, not TA96. Of course they paid a heavy price for rushing in technology that was not off-the-shelf ready for primetime.
Legal right to access? The person above is right, they are told to sell below cost so some other company can then sell it without providing any value added services. The bells maybe fighting the UNEP and other ridiculous rules that force them to squander shareholder equity, but they are not ignorig the rule of law. They sell at the tariffed rates. They build specialized systems to make it possible for their "competitors" to electronically order une's.
Oh yea, they also fight hard to win customers and earn money to pay their bills, pay their employees, contribute to the communities they operate in and to draw investor interest.
Better watch out for those terrible profit minded baby bells with their millions of employees! |
