| talk is cheap What happens if Verizon or Comcast break the deal? Nothing was done to AT&T for reneging on merger conditions with Bell South..
An overt lack of enforcement of the merger conditions for over 5 years allowed AT&T to think they can try to grab Tmobile. Both telcos are likley to kill off their union labor in 5 years as well.
Basically this deal is an alternative to a cable MVNO partnership.. all the while encroaching on AT&T's wireless turf. Somehow that's supposed to make the public feel good about a hail-mary attempt at resurrecting competition between AT&T and Verizon (wireless). Left twisting in the wind is Verizon's (AND AT&T's) copper networks. |

| What is to stop a customer from going one city over to a mall and subscribing there ? Do you honestly think that Comcast won't take their money and the system won't spit out credits or deals because they run "checks" ?
It's a joke, an absolute joke , this should not be allowed, at all, unless they open up fios to competitors and then also open up the cable lines data channels to competitors as well.
These companies are just running wild in our country because they are not being controlled by the government that is elected to work for us the people. Im sorry but a corporation is not a person.
They didn't even enforce all the comcast merger terms either. Utter rubbish!

said by tmc8080:What happens if Verizon or Comcast break the deal?... Break the agreement? If VZ or Comcast wants to start selling both FIOS and Xfinity in overlapping markets, the jokes on them!
And if unions are out of the picture in 5 years, it will be their own fault. They are their own worst enemy. |

and again, it's their right not to have union labor. Other companies don't have it; and they can get rid of it too. Stop crying and look for another job or go to trade school.
You don't see the UAW out here on DSLR crying about their jobs that they lost and are still losing. |

1 edit | And once the republicans manage to outlaw all collective bargaining what will they blame next for their inability to create jobs? It will be those pesky minimum wage and overtime laws. They inhibit the right of companies to work people as much as they want and pay as little they want. Those selfish lazy workers don't want to work 60+ hours a week at $4 an hour well screw them. Let them starve. |

| We have government laws and regulation that keeps companies from doing that. Union workers are a drain on the company; look at what they did to the Auto Companies; sent them bankrupt only to come back crying when the companies would NOT give them the same pay and profit sharing. If you want profit sharing- invest in the company otherwise keep walking. |

To the right wing overtime, minimum wage and child labor laws are now considered forms of socialism that unfairly impedes the free market that must be eliminated. In this day in age. It just isn't unions workers that are considered a drain on a company, its anyone who earns a wage as we are currently in a race to the bottom. Companies lament the fact we can't settle for dollars per day like China or Mexico. |

| And you know who created all that- the UNIONS. |

Re: talk is cheap You should do some research on Unions, you might develop a small amount of appreciation for their history, and the things they created that benefit even your ignorant life. |

That is the problem just like speculators are destroying other markets by squatting on stuff to try and profit, if they can't use it take it away for what they paid and give it to those who can for a fair price, or have relicensing , if they don't use it or show valid plans to use it, then they lose it. But no we can't actually ask our elected officials to actually do something that helps the people, that is asking to much.
