John, I read your message before I ate breakfast and need to go back and re-read several times later, so I have printed it . There were two things you stated that stood out; "firstest with the mostest is the key"' and "T has upped the ante by bringing the future closer sooner." Both phrases sound like great advertising slogans.
I did not see any mention of GTE. Is the BEL/GTE merger still on track? T, FON and WCOM were all oppossed to the merger earlier.
GTE has local service in 28 states, wireless in 17 states(and is acquiring Ameritech wireless assets in the midwest)long-distance, cable TV,cable internet,DSL, and will have a 17,000 mile nationwide high capacity fiber network completed by year-end. Comments?
I always had LDDS on my "stocks of interest" list. WCOM is still there, as is QWST. Recently I have added BEL to my list. Suddenly Global Crossing(GBLX) is in the news.
Thanks for sharing your soliloquy.
