I'm not pleased if this is true because less competition is bad for the consumer. I would imagine Verizon feels even stronger about it.

Cable and satellite compete, so I can't see where you get that...besides
That would allow U-Verse to expand and compete better, they have only 6 million customers.
Yea I'm kind of undecided on the at&t deal, but I wonder if it could drive internet prices down? I'm fixing to move back to where I grew up which is pretty rural so I probably wont have any internet unless I switch to Verizon 4G in which I'm a Verizon customer already and have a cell tower almost across the highway from me.
Maybe it's not obvious to some AT&T is slowly but surely getting its monopoly back together.
So it was OK with you when ATT had to start sharing their lines with every TOM, DICK & HARRY?
Just curious.
Yeah, that was so terrible. Don't get me started on this one. My knowledge of this subject is probably more extensive than you want to hear about.
Unless you want to hear about all of their dirty tricks, when they were forced to "share their lines".

Yeah. Simple fact is we don't like a lot of the regulations we have but most of then came into being because of exploitation between groups.
I heard yesterday that a class action has been filed against Apple because they are slower at sending text messages to Android phones. My wife, my sister and I tested it yesterday while not scientific text messages to my Galaxy phone were about 8 minutes slower coming from an iPhone.
May not seem like a big deal at first but 8 minutes is a long time if you are in distress.

Do you think AT&T paid for those lines? Their customers did. I take it you didn't think breaking up Ma Belle was good for the consumer.
I believe in a free market without gbmnt interference. The customers paid for a service and the lines belonged to ATT, the MABELLS now. To
this day the bell system replaces downed power poles in my area.
The same crap happens today if the gbmnt builds a nuclear plant they just usurp a power companies territory. You wouldn't be a user of
cheap TVA power would you?
That is not what we had when AT&T was the only game in town.
OK, technically, GTE had their own small niche market. Same difference.
A lot of the technology folks take for granted would either have never come about, or a much slower pace, if their monopoly had continued. Please don't try to tell me otherwise.
It was the free market that drove those advancements. Not a stale monopoly that could not be bothered.
I have an iPhone and my wife has a Samsung Galaxy S3. We don't have any issues with a delay in messages. I will be keeping my eyes open for this class action suit.
The class action lawsuit is not about Apple being slow to send text to Android phones, it's about a bug in Apple's iMessage system (there iOS to iOS device messaging alternative) for folks that switch from an iPhone to another device, like Android or Windows Phone. The issue is that for many user who were using iMessage and switch to a none Apple device, they no longer receive text messages from people who still have an iPhone. This is because Apple's iMessage system has not released there phone number so it is still trying to deliver the texts as iMessages instead of sending them as normal text messages. Since iMessages only work between Apple devices, those messages are just lost and never delivered.
Apple has known about this bug for over 2 years so, I have no problem with this law suit if it is what is needed to kick them in the pants and finally fix the problem. The work around is to not use iMessage at all, of course this only works if all your other iPhone buddies stop using it as well.
Apple has nothing to do with regular text messages, if they are slow to arrive then that is all on your carrier.

The sad thing is I believe we could only be on national tv a couple of times back in the 60 and 70's. So I dont think we will get to see some of those great games of the past.
Imagine being able to watch the entire 72 game when we unveiled the wishbone on USC. And we get to hear Keith Jackson not calling a PAC 12 game.
