Maybe if the bells provided cost-efficient service

I mean really!

79 bucks for unlimited long-distance?

I can get it for 29 from Comcast.

The big big "IF"......

If the cable companies can prove themselves capable of doing a better job of providing telephone service. I say, more power to them....

DIE QWEST DIE

Qworst has to be the absolutely WORST telco in America. Anything that slays this monster is a very good thing. And if there are any Qworst reps reading, just go look for complaints regarding crappy EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE ISDN service in Aztec, New Mexico. THATS ME!

I'm taking the first trip off my pots line that becomes available, and I'm not going back.

what are these "complex financial arrangements" attorney fees, attorney fees, permits, trademarks, permits, copyrights, traderights, government, green energy is about as green as a dollar bill.. it costs more to license and trade mark a product than it does to make it. you can have your wind turbines, your solar cells, solar collectors, cow manure, you name it, but it's all geared to one thing - inconsistent, if the wind always blew you wouldn't need batteries, if the sun always shone you would wouldn't need batteries, guess what the sun always shines and you don't need light to collect it, you just need to change the collector which has already been done, and that's not the only one... bottom line there is no way the government nor big business is going to let that one slip by, there's just too much money in conventional fuels and your government doesn't really want you depend!!!
