Re: Why bother

"In the US, it's ENTIRELY about fighting over who'll make the money and the people be damned."

You forgot to mention about the cable & telcos giving us big marketing hand jobs all the while to make us feel like we're getting the best deal in the world. If at least one carrier got a damn clue and put at least half of what they spend on marketing into REAL customer service, equipment, and a more than half-assed attempt at building a network then I bet they'd do quite well for themselves. But that's what common sense would dictate. All those genius telco execs with their MBAs and that business-speak alien language will tell you otherwise. Swell.

 Excellent point Chug;

It is amazing how ATTB advertises on major network outlets here in LA when they have very little service area here...and even less service area serving ATTBi. You would think they would just do direct mail and call it done...directly targeting the homes that they can service. Telling me about all these great services like Telephony while not offering it doesn't do much good. And really...what's the point. It's like our local electric company...Edison International. They even have Anaheim Angels Stadium named after them (Edison Field of Anaheim). All the while you ask...why does an electricity monopoly need to advertise...it's not like we have a choice.
