I originally bought TCOMB which converted to T just before the split, yielding about 1.2 shares of T for each of the original TCOMB shares, which I bought in the low 40's. I sold most of T along with the internets and other high techs around April 15th, having predicted the summer lulls in high techs. Now I am looking to jump back into T at 45 bucks. . .perhaps this week, maybe next. . .

Why buy T?

In my opinion, digital fibre optics via cable will be the undisputed winner. Analog cable modems and xDSL will leave too much to be desired, due to the rich high-resolution video/audio requirements of the new broadband content . . .

Check out the amount of data transmitted on a 24-bit/96kHz 5.1 surround movie. . . just a single minute of program requires one staggering amount of data. I think all POTS and coaxial driven modems will soon become like the Hayes 2400 or even 9.6K modems that were so expensive not that many years ago. . . and now can be found at garage sales and surplus stores.

Wireless broadband, via satellite will survive in limited areas, including downtown areas, large business complexes, apartments, condos and hotels. . . due to no need to run wires.

Basically, we will either be fibre or microwave. . . anything less, in my opinion, just won't cut the mustard. . .[whatever the heck that means.]
