| They had it...and sold it...
Wait a minute. Am I missing something? Didn't they just sell off the unit that HAD EVERYONE WIRED, or at least a few zillion...the unit that made them HUGE money (so sayith their annual reports, profits in the billions from their broadband unit). If they wanted a chunk of the local service pie all they had to do was finish the telephony rollout and acquire more franchises. They're looking for a capital efficient way...there's nothing more efficient than being wired to end users and making a HUGE profit doing it.
Now, they're 3 months into this thing and looking for ways to get back service to end users? Genius.
WTF...where did these guys get their degrees? Cracker Jacks? -- When yer a pioneer, you're bound to get a few arrows in the butt. [text was edited by author 2003-02-25 19:21:49] |

Now I just wonder if the bigwigs at AT&T realize what they've done yet or not. -- The USA is not alone! |
