John: Re: Bells and "content" (<<But I have yet to see any of the baby Bells....hell....the other
CLEC's for that matter....do content on the internet well. They are typical infrastructure
boys/girls. They're good at building it, lousy at using it (as funny as that might sound)
excepting where it applies to certain voice applications like v-mail, enhanced call
routing and delivery services, etc.
But this isn't to say they won't try to go this way. It's a natural "evolutionary" course to
my way of thinking. So we'll just have to see. >>
Just a note here, that up in Canada, Bell Canada is currently working to purchase CTV, a Canadain National TV network. In addition to this, rumours are swirling that BCE is also negotiating with Thomson Corp (Cdn newspaper conglomerate). Having spun off Nortel, they are re-inventing themselves with "content".
FWIW.
By the way, WSTL looking like a technical bottom here at $13, tho this one may need one more exhaustive round downward before the ugliness is over.
