Re: SBC's, "Pronto" Project

Thread,
I find the title slightly amusing, "Pronto." Even the folks at CNBC made light of SBC's announcement. But in all the years I've been following the broadband plans of the incumbents, this one, IMHO, seems to be for real. They certainly are saying the right things and they seem to have a very good game plan to compete DIRECTLY, head to head with AT&T's broadband plans. As a matter of fact, in the webcast, SBC claims they will easily beat AT&T to the punch.

I wasn't able to listen to the entire broadcast (but will do so today). But apparently SBC will merge their entertainment arm to the twisted copper pair(??). Well that means, "VDSL." So I don't quite understand what he was driving at. Maybe in the rest of the webcast I can pick up what he means.

IMHO SBC's CEO did an excellent introduction as to where they are in the market and where they want to be. Too bad the media doesn't believe them. I still chuckle when I think of Esprey's announcement of ION/Sprint. That was a marketing coup of the century <G>! I don't think the media was ready to be burned again.

Here's the webcast. Worth a listen because IMHO it's very relavant to last mile investments:
