Wouldn't it be an interesting model for SBC to market a choice of PSTN/DSL or VoIP/DSL as an alternative? With the savings like Cable TV/HSI and not requiring a dial tone line, who knows where that would go too? -- Jim -- Voip on FWD & Vonage |

| Yep, and we might see that offered. Right now though, the Bells seem very scared to offer anything other than POTS with DSL. They loose hundred's of thousands of landlines per month because of cell phones already.
AT&T has all the pieces needed and probably would offer a DSL/CDS combo. But Cable still has the upper hand when they bundle TV and especially video on demand with phone and internet for like 80-100 bucks.
I have no idea how the Bells will compete if the Cable companies do this the right way. Now you have the real main argument against cable being network stability. We know that networks and computers do get better with time, so its only around the corner that there may be no difference whatsoever in going DSL vs Cable except price. And the Cable company looks to kill with possible pricing. AT&T (and the Bells) need some kind of video offering yesterday. |
