I hope this works. I've attached a Word file to this that I hope everyone can access. It's a story that appeared in the last edition of Telecom Policy Report. It's about one of the so-called "public interest" non-profit organizations that has very distinct ties to the Bell companies. If anyone can't access the word file, send me a personal email and I'll reply with the actual copy itself. The point I'm trying to make is that as bad as the cablecos are, they pale in comprison to the RBOCs. Did anyone follow that SBC/Bill Daley-backed legislation in Illinois? I don't recall any of the cablecos doing anything like that. How about the Oct. 20 "secret" cocktail party In D.C., sponsored by USTA and the RBOCs. The cablecos haven't done anything like that? Maybe there are no "white hats" in this industry -- only various shade of gray. Some of them are downright black.
