Hi Charlie,

Needless to say I'm not telepathic about the telcos. However, would not stonewalling, SBC style, prolong their windfall? I think all RBOCs are inherently self absorbed entities. I think their also extremely secretive--so who knows what ulterior motives they hide? AT&T has devoted most of its attention to wireless. Does this mean T doesn't have battle plans for copper? Maybe Lucent is their advance guard. It's really difficult for me to think like a RBOC executive, I think.

C ya later, Steve

ps I picked up another chunk of WSTL today. They're quite unglamorous but they appear to be gregarious hob-knobbers and in their game I think that must help (to sell the science). What DSL plays look attractive to you Charlie?
