What if...

What if AT&T pulled out of this area completely? No POTS, no DSL, no service at all. Play hardball with 'em.

"You don't want us to deploy next gen services here? Fine, we'll pack up all of our stuff and leave."

Don't know if that's possible or not.

State PUC and the FCC would prevent that. AT&T/SBC local voice access is still regulated. I am sure they could pull out over many years by selling to someone else, but it would all have to be approved by regulators.

I believe AT&T made agreements with the State of Illinois (one which guaranteed no competition on POTS) that would prevent them from pulling all service to these areas as well.
