Yeah, I am sure having the SBC tickers, and stadium advertising is given to these companies.

While they have a point they are investing in the infrastructure. They not only are charging the end users (consumer and business) but then they also charge resellers, and other companies/ISP's/etc using the same facilities.

It's nothing more than greed.

SBC isn't broke. They just bought AT&T, a few years back they bought Pacific Bell.

And if they are broke it's because they have fucking employees who have worked there for thirty years of their life in a entry level position and are now making $100k a year because of "time in grade". Don't tell me I'm wrong; I've worked for Pacific Bell and I've seen it with my own eyes.
