Re: Sell Me
It will be interesting to see new bundle "cliques" develop:
"VoIP via cable, cable broadband, DirecTV and Tivo all the way!"
"Regular phone, cable broadband, Digital TV and Time Warner PVR rules!"
"Cell Phone only, DSL Line w/Vonage, Dish Network and a good old-fashioned VCR is the best!"
"Net2Phone, with satellite broadband and no TV because it rots the mind!" |

| I can see it now. I just pay one bill for my monthly expenses.
I pay my phone, electric, gas, TV, internet, car payment, mortgage, groceries, etc through one company.
Who's gonna do it?
Wal-mart.
Give it time.

HOw do you have a "Cell Phone only, DSL line w/Vonage" You can't have a cheap DSL Line without Pots. DSL with Vonage is not a cost savings. |

| The RBOCs know this and they know it's another advantage for Cable. That's why they are continually dropping the price of DSL. However, where's that $24.95 price that people keep saying SBC is going to launch? WHY DOES SBC THINK THAT BLUFFING WITH TH PRICE OF A PRODUCT THEY DON'T HAVE(DSL, THEY DON"T HAVE DSL ANYWHERE) will make CABLE blink? It won't. THey only thing that will make cable react is a detailed RT deployment schedule with 100% coverage("Can I get DSL now?") in the cities they list |

| Yeah, and I bet they have no more than 30% of the broadband market at best for the addresses serviced by your RT(which is probably half empty). Here there are tons of young technologically inclined demograhic(lots young Indians) in a dense apartment complex with no other broadband options. ALL SBC MANAGEMENT ARE IDIOTS!!!! ALL OF THEM!!!!! |

It depends....Vonage technically gives you another phone line...so if you're wanting another line, it does offer some cost savings. |
