Seems to me that there are a lot of stocks rebounding from oversold conditions which persisted through the end of the "war". The rubber band was stretched way to far to the oversold and now its starting to correct back. Hope everyone here is doing well. cmg

here's another story regarding fttx, vz, bls, etc.... Baby Bells Agree to Standards on Network Upgrades Thu May 29, 3:39 PM ET PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - The three largest U.S. local telephone companies on Thursday said they agreed on a common set of technical standards to improve development of fiber-optic networks and speed the introduction of new services such as photo sharing and interactive gaming. Since the Baby Bells agreed to use common technical specifications, equipment manufacturers can develop more gear more quickly and more cost-effectively. The standards involve technology known as "fiber to the premises," or the extension of high-speed, high-capacity fiber optic network directly to business and homes, the companies said. The carriers involved include Verizon Communications Inc.(NYSE:VZ - news), SBC Communications Inc.(NYSE:SBC - news) and BellSouth Corp.(NYSE:BLS - news), the three largest U.S. local telephone companies. Currently long-distance networks use high-speed fiber, but local telephone networks still use traditional copper telephone wires that are ill-equipped to handle new generation services that require more bandwidth. The lack of local high-speed capacity has been cited as a main factor for the slow development of more sophisticated Internet and software applications. By having high-speed lines connect directly to offices and homes, customers will have nearly limitless bandwidth for new Internet, voice and video services. That would improve the evolution of interactive gaming, photo sharing, telecommuting, video conferencing or premises surveillance, the companies said.
