Seriously, when are they going to put the Lucent IMS platforms to use to bring VoIP over BB?

Will be interesting to note how many FIOS data customers they have added. They have never released that data till now. Rather they have been combining it with DSL numbers.

At the very least, a great many support the principle of consumer choice.

I know I am a low end users and never have to deal with getting internet to 100, or 1000 people at a time…

But I mean think about it: If you are so small, 25 and under, get cable and distribute it via wireless. Over 25, get something big. Get Tango. I dont get the appeal of dsl for any range then. But again, no expert.
