I am sure all of you have watched the SBC ad promoting its DSL technology, you know the one which goes something like “…. twenty five years ago an idea was planted to transmit photo, and data over the Internet ….” blah blah! The ad pans from Chicago street to an underground conduit. Anyway is it me who finds this odd because 25 years ago there was nothing called SBC. Sure there was a monopoly called AT&T. Isn’t it false advertising, much like those crummy Mt. Everest advertisements? What do you guys think?
