tg- Just a guess, but maybe it was posted because NT is a majority owner of Arris Interactive(JV between NT and ANTC). And Arris is the primary supplier of the circuit-switched cable telephony gear(called Cornerstone) that goes into T's cable plant. Antec(ANTC) is the distributor and that's why I know about this. What's good for local cable telephony, is good for NT. I'm assuming NT probably puts in a large telco circuit-switch (Putting the voice traffic onto the PSTN) into the cable headend everytime ANTC does an install of a Cornerstone system. -MikeM(From Florida)

telecomguy, You mentioned a number of times that the large RBOC's and IXC could never afford to give free voice... Here AT&T is providing free voice when you buy their cable service.... which is EXACTLY what I said would happen. You laughed. That is the only issue. The discussion has nothing to do with NT or CSCO or LU or any provider. It's simply has to do with the issue we discussed "free voice". That's all... Don't try to make more out of it than what it is. AT&T - free voice on cable. BTW: What makes you think this is analog? LOL! OG
