If a telco mindset were around 100 years ago...
- gaius 16y agoBefore we rag on telcos too much, how often do you pick up a landline and not get a dial tone? Their customer service is almost universally poor, but telcos are the absolute masters of infrastructure engineering and operations. Vodafone's advertising in the UK is all about that at the moment... I suspect it's aimed not towards customers but towards people they want to hire.
- hga 16y agoWell, the bigger point being made here is that "telcos" are suing to prevent communities they aren't serving from providing their own service. To amplify the "America 100 years ago" thesis, AT&T didn't provide their good service to much or most of rural and small town USA, so in those service gaps communities, co-ops etc. built their own service. Without AT&T suing them to prevent that.
