I am bitter and I can't spell worth a hoot.

I look at this AOL/Wcom deal really pushing the envelope against the RBOCs.

What the RBOCs need is a smooth transition from Analog to digital access accounts. AOL has the numbers to achieve that. Say for example out of the 18 mill accounts 7 mill are part of Bell Atlantic's region. But if wcom cuts the deal AOL, wcom and Bell Atlantic would fight over who gets what from the 7 mill accounts. So Bell Atlantic needs content to differenate from WCOM. Also at $40 a month , how can BA provide DSL bandwidth make any money??

If you ask me the RBOCs are still the studitiest bunch of morons alive. They could have squashed all this competetion in 1996. Now it will get the best of them.
