Would you buy ATT at a P/E of almost a hundred?
How about Qwest at a P/E over 90?
Verizon has twice as much debt at SBC and could get into trouble if the recession continues.
BLS is heavily invested in Latin America and Argentina is on the edge of default. Not safe.
Fon has warned about loss of revenue, and WCOM is in similar trouble with no positive outlook and an overvalued stock.

The only safe investment is SBC. Bar None!
