frank, i was speaking with the director of sales and marketing and actually thought it gauche that i should ask directly, maybe next call

there are three that come to mind Bell, T, Sprint though sheer speculation until confirmed

such a deal could allow sharing of costs and allow for differentiation in other ways

the purpose of my call was to complain about a rumoured rate increase for customers with cable www access, yet without cable tv service, which is our current lifestyle preference

i sent an email to the cable company owner and received a call from the director promptly the next morning

service has never been an issue, price gouging may have been

monopolistic behaviour will be an issue with the sharing of plant imo

on the other hand, i may be able to sell them software and services ;)
but for those who might not benefit in trade, it will be an increase in their cost of living, and a cost saving for the provider

regards,
ynot ;)
