Don't you know that AT&T's current U-Verse service is based on the PSTN-- those old copper wires that they claim are too old to do IP. <br /><br />And yet AT&T's broadband service is a PSTN-based-copper-to-the-home service. <br /><br />So what if AT&T collected billions per state to do the upgrades and didn't do it. -- a bait & Switch. <br /><br />This is all a play to get rid of telecom regulations-- it has nothing to do with IP. <br /><br />AT&T is currently offering IP over U-Verse --the transition is happening -- but in this case AT&T is charging customers for a cable and information service -- using the monies allocated for upgrading the PSTN plant to privatizing the utility plant.bruce kushnickhttp://www.newnetworks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25089246.post-38652928393750274252013-02-03T09:06:19.865-08:002013-02-03T09:06:19.865-08:00Monopolies have been lying for nearly 100 years. ...Monopolies have been lying for nearly 100 years.
