Nonsense:

The highest rated telco in California is Pac Bell...97% customer
approval.

Check the total returns on the telcos over the last few years...
the Bells have beat the heck out of T.

Also, T is going to have a hard time getting into the local business
at a profit any time soon...T may turn out to be a good long-term
holding but, considering that it's still losing market share (down
to about 50% now and projected to drop another 10% to 20%) and that
its margins are eroding severely, that "brand awareness" doesn't
necessarily mean it's a good investment.

Check out SBC...it's considered to be one of the best-run telcos in
the world and also has the best improvements in its margins, growth,
and ROE.

T might be a fair investment but, in the telco arena, it's definitely
not one of the best.
