Re: See all the conditions for approval in Appendix C
"To meet this commitment the merged company will make available retail broadband
Internet access service with a download speed of 768 kbps to 90 percent of its broadband
eligible access lines using wireline technologies within three years of the Transaction
Closing Date.
It says they have to be wired not sat or wireless.
And
· In addition, the merged company will make available retail broadband Internet access
service with a download speed of (1) 1.5 Mbps to 87% of the broadband eligible access
lines within two years of the Transaction Closing Date and (2) 3 Mbps to 75% of
broadband eligible access lines within one year of the Transaction Closing Date, 78% of
broadband eligible lines within two years of the Transaction Closing Date, and 80% of
broadband eligible lines within three years of the Transaction Closing Date.
· Broadband eligible access lines are defined as retail single-line residential and single-line
business access lines.
If anyone cares. |

| The merged company will offer retail broadband Internet access service to 100 percent of its broadband
eligible access lines within three years of the Transaction Closing Date. That metric does include satellite.To meet this commitment the merged company will make available retail broadband Internet access service with a download speed of 768 kbps to 90 percent of its broadband eligible access lines using wireline technologies within three years of the Transaction Closing Date. If they're already at 87%, DSL expansion of 1% per year is less than many companies do organically. CenturyTel tells investors they're lowering Capex, so they're actually slowing down expansion over the next three years from my understanding....
Really, these conditions on expansion aren't actually saying anything whatsoever. They're just words on a page. |

I guess Barack Obama's "Change" meant just Higher Taxes.   |
