"I think it is going to be very difficult for T to convince consumers to put all their eggs into T's basket, especially when they know they are still dealing with the same unresponsive,monopolistic local cable co. that is now part of T."

Money talks, and the word is that offering long distance over cable could cost next to nothing to the consumer, would you sign up tv and internet with T if it meant free or considerably cheaper long distance phone calls?

Jay

Lee, I beg to differ. The system I work for(former TCI) is doing a rebuild which will include a redundant ring. With the many outages in cable, fortunately they've thought of redundancy.
