| TX is probably just as Republican, is not more than WI, and though cities can't do their own muni broadband efforts, AT&T is nowhere as domineering as they are in WI. Then again, that might be because a fair amount of long-haul infrastructure in TX is part of TLSN, a cooperative of telephone co-ops and companies like CenturyLink. AT&T and Verizon are notably absent from the member list for TLSN, which provides dark fiber for various EDU/GOV institutions in the state.
But, again, there is no AT&T in that co-op of co-ops. They're too busy blanketing the state (yes, AT&T has good coverage in TX) with overpriced wireless service and deciding whether to build U-Verse in a given area of San Antonio, Austin, Houston or Fort Worth (and maybe other smaller AT&T cities like Amarillo if they're lucky). |

Re: This is what electing republicans gets you Please don't make this a partisan issue. It's not. The Dems have done plenty to sell their souls too. |

AT&T's strong hold is texas..why u think there head quarters is in Fortworth/Dallas Area, it makes since that they would be the best in service as far as coverage goes, dont get me wrong I hate AT&T but i also got service from them as far as cell phones go, Suddenlink is my cable provider and i live about 1 hour west of Fort Worth
But i dont think AT&T should of had the power to do this to Wisonsin.., and repiblicans dont have nothin to do with this, both can be paid off..both will sign whatever if money is involved..
Democrats are prob worse, than republicans, somthin comes to mind at the moment..what was it call net neutrality??, o ya i forgot alot of democrats dont wanna hear it |

kudos:2 | I heard that AT&T bought out CellOne in my area because the CEO came out to the Hill Country for leisure trips and his phone would be roaming when he did so.
Or it could be that AT&T wanted to get into the Alaska market... |

Re: This is what electing republicans gets you said by openbox9:Please don't make this a partisan issue. It's not. Who controls both houses in the Wisconsin state legislature? Who controls the governorship? I'm sorry but if you're in charge and you pass laws then you own those laws and the consequences that come with them. It's really that simple. |

kudos:2 | You're right. This is strictly a GOP issue. I sit corrected 
This one situation does not in and of itself mean that partisan politics is black or white. Politicians in general often succumb to corporate and political pressures. There's enough blame to go around without annoying and worthless political banter. |

| GOP = GROUP OF PRICKS
when will the new civil war start ?
this is bullshit.Wiscnet is important in Industry and education.Republicans are totatally retarded.and this type of behavior is going to bring this country down |

Yes, both political parties are full of bought and paid for, corrupt crooks. This just happens to be a clear cut example of Republican corruption. Wait a day, you'll see something similar from a Democrat controlled state. (there is still one left right?)

Wasn't ATT the subject and then went with down with Wisconsin.
Not even sure if my avatar says Tomahawk Wi.
Oh please why do union members make more than non union ?
The quiet wonders why.
The Demo still continues to NOT understand credit cards ?
You can't continue to spend more than you take in, isn't that the real world ?
The Demo protesters with property damage, interruption of sessions, then the Zombie deal with the Special Olympic kids to interrupt a congrats by the Gov.
We the people have voted and will continue to take out the final trash in 2012.
