ahhaha,

A snip from NPNT's website re: PacBell & NPNTs IDSL agreement (10/19):

The agreement enables Pacific Bell Internet Services to immediately extend its high-speed offerings in California while SBC Communications' Project Pronto is deployed.

I pulled this from a doc on the SBC website (re: Project Pronto ):

ú Rearchitect its network to push fiber deeper into the neighborhoods it serves and accelerate the convergence of its voice and data backbone systems into a next-generation, packet-switched, designed-for-the-Internet network. Together with the advanced, long-haul network of Williams Communications Inc., with which SBC has a strategic alliance, SBC will be able to provide end-to-end advanced voice, data and video services on one of the most sophisticated, efficient, flexible and scalable networks in the industry.

I don't know who to buy: WCG, NPNT, or SBC itself!

IDSL operates at up to 144kbs for customers over 17k feet away from the CO. I'm in this group and would pounce at the opportunity to upgrade from my marginal 33-52kbs connection.

Pronto is a $6 billion project focused on delivering convergence to 77 million homes.

My question to you: Sell ATHM? SBC is dead serious... $6B worth of serious.
