Re: Calling people racists...I live an area that used to have two cable companies, wireless internet (old-style required a roof antenna), and, at that time Pacific Bell. All competed for my business. Comcast bought cable company two, the wireless internet went out of business, and what became AT&T decided, after they started construction, that we were not worthy of the U-Verse upgrade. Our current infrastructure is such that DSL is not an option because the wiring between my house and the RT is a mess leaving Comcast as the only option for me. Is this racist because in my town the population is racially shifting? No. It is because companies don't think there is money to be made. AT&T does not want to spend the money because landline business is going away. Only re-regulation forcing companies to provide a product to an area will cause changes to be made. That is not going to happen. |
