SBC executives in San Antonio have been testing the carrier's IPTV service for 45 days or so. The service is being fed from Austin, where five local San Antonio channels are being fed from Echostar, compressed with Windows Media 9, and sent via optical link to SBC's San Antonio offices. More fleshed-out residential trials for IPTV will begin in April. Yeah, so they do see the benefit of fiber -- just not for their peasant fiefdom? 'Frick'n genuises have no frickin clue how their meager f2 copper pairs behave when wet -- even at low 5mbs speeds. Their ratty f2 copper pairs are gonna choke at 20mbs. What fools. "If you can't afford to do it right (FTTP) -- you sure as hell can't afford to do it over". This'll be one of those MBA case studies in corporate stupidity. Incredibly SBC can afford $16 BILLION for some corporate incest with a dying company like AT&T -- but they're upgrading their cash cow on-the-cheap in hopes that their customers are too stupid to know the difference. I can tolerate idiots, but not fools.
