From the article you linked: >>MCI WorldCom President and Chief Executive Officer Bernard Ebbers then took up the challenge in an editorial page column in the Wall Street Journal. "There are two titans that have the potential to establish telephone hegemony -- AT&T and the Bell operating companies," he wrote. "A merged MCI WorldCom and Sprint represents the best hope for a strong and effective alternative..."<< Well, he sure has that right. What's to stop the AT&T juggernaut? Nothing, not when the regulators are helping them out. IMO this ruling stomps the commercial development and implementation of the Sprint and MCI cable networks. This is Very bad for HFC just as AT&T, with their baby bells, is grabbing the high-speed market via their DSL abomination. These are two different technological paths to the consumer but AT&T, with the baby bells' patch-slap, telecrap system is the one given favor because it's "for the consumer". Don't those idiots realize AT&T has proprietary use of the baby bells for running it's One Net with DSL? It's been Sprint and (to a lesser degree) MCI which have provided direct-to-the-consumer high-speed networking! Well, at least they didn't say it's "for the children". What a pile... Stinks.
