Right, because anyone who doesn't know what you know must be dumb. 
Feel better now? | |

| AT&T-esque juggernaut taking over as usual I'm sorry to be the one here complaining about competition, but as we are all finding out nowadays, co's like Comcast are just wanting to come in with predatory pricing, wipe the competition out, and then hold us hostage just like their cable service. Triple play has been their holy grail cash cow (no pun intended)(yeah, right)  and with that, you're stuck with high prices for uneeded services (why need voip when you have your cell phone?). Now Quadruple play is on it's way. More hostage taking ...
One day, Judge Harold "Equal Access" Greene will rise out of his grave and come save our poor souls -- again. But of course I'm dreaming with the choke hold co's like Comcast has, and their knowing that will never happen until The Second Coming ...
btw: US vs. AT&T and the MFJ are sadly lacking in details on Wikipedia. Too bad since it's such an important milestone in U.S. telecommunications history. | |

Too bad since it's such an important milestone in U.S. telecommunications history. Oh come on! Ma Bell was broken up because AT&T wanted to go into the computer industry that it was banned from. It wanted growth at all costs, even if it means tossing away your terminal profit assets. It was a SETTLEMENT not a VERDICT!!!!!
Lets pretend in the USA an ILEC isn't allowed to own any cellphone companies. Then the ILEC has some tax irregularities and someone didn't get their campaign contributions that election cycle so the DOJ starts a court case. The DOJ and the ILEC negotiate an agreement that the ILEC will sell off its last mile, and buy a cellphone provider. | |

| I agree, cable will need a something to match telco lte While the previous Pivot is defunct, that picture is different. There is investment involved here, Comcast holds a stake in this.
With LTE likely on the horizon as a potential telco weapon for competition, this is a big problem.
It is really important not to be wrong here; after the bottom just fell out on the 30% limit rule, carriers that offer the better package customers want can poach them off like birds picking up seeds; if packaged correctly, they cant pick up that customer for everything from video to cellphone service.
In fact, I read in previous news that bloggers seem to feel Comcast should buy out Sprint. I think its absolutely necessary for them to do something like this. While I do agree cable should merge with Sprint somehow including Clearwire as part of the deal, I think they should all get together where any cable company can come together on it & form a new consortium (ie: cable wireless alliance), basket the funds and it should take over Sprint.
Reason why is you don't want another cable company such as, like, Cablevision, turning around and saying wait, that's anticompetative for Comcast to buy out Sprint. I mean, Cablevision & Comcast, I don't think, even compete; forming some sort of consortium seems to make sense to me since most of what any cable will want to offer with a wireless/wimax provider will probably be the same thing anyway. If Comcast puts up the most, this would basically give them a large stake in it. | |
