Re: Do you hear that?
said by bistro777  :Seems to me they ought to focus their attorneys’ efforts on the SEC lawsuits/settlements. But after MCI turned 'em down, I guess their desperate need for cash flow has let them to another takeover target...UTOPIA. Would you like Nachios with that? If thats their plan wouldnt it make more sense for Qwest to let them finish building the network first?? At least that way they can offer some real fiber based services!! BTW, what the hell is up with Qwest's 1.5M fiber "service"? It looks like The Marketing Moron(new superhero) has struck again!!

"DUUUHHRRR, I am the marketing guy at Qwest! Why would anyone want more than a 1.5M connection? Lets just spend a few million dollars building a fiber network and then do nothing with it! DUUHHHRRR!! I must be the smartest guy in the world!!!

I should have use "begin sarcasm" and "end sarcasm,"  because UTOPIA isn't generating revenues, and Qwest was desperate to buy MCI for the "monthly dollars" it generates.
From today's Denver Post - - -
The SEC alleges that Nacchio and other Qwest officials inflated revenues by $3 billion by portraying one-time sales of capacity on the company's fiber-optic network as recurring revenue.
The government described Qwest under Nacchio as "a culture of fear," with subordinates desperate to meet his demands to hit revenue targets.
The SEC seeks to have the executives repay stock-sale profits and other gains. In Nacchio's case, stock-sale profits alone amounted to more than $176.5 million in the period covered by the SEC's probe.
Things just went from bad to Qworst. |

| Maybe not word for word, but the meaning was the same. He talks of a community that has 3 meg down, and that the tri-city users would never use that.
I'm not sure he really answered the guy's question as well. The gentleman basically told him he was using Comcast because SBC was not able to deliver DSL service. The SBC rep talks about how the SBC package is comparable to Comcast in price. IF you can get the service!

My point is bascically he's full of it because this was a couple of months before their Project Lightspeed announcement ("we'll bring a 25 meg pipe to your house via fiber and copper), especially considering he's the 5 state network operations president for SBC Midwest.
Flat out - He was lying to the Batavia City Council.
