It looks like some one has at last stepped out of the shadows to reveal the extent of failed management at the big US telecomms companies.
http://www.pbs.org/cringely/pulpit/2007/pulpit_20070810_002683.htmlThis is part three of my explanation of how America went from having the fastest and cheapest Internet service in the world to what we have today -- not very fast, not very cheap Internet service that is hurting our ability to compete economically with the rest of the world.
This week's final part explains that this all came about because Americans were deceived and defrauded by many of their telephone companies to the tune of $200 billion -- money that was supposed to have gone to pay for a broadband future we don't -- and never will -- have
Whilst I,m sure many in the industry will want to portray a different story than the one painted here there's a well documented history to confirm or deny most of the claims made and on first reading it looks a clear cut case of big business ineptitude, only the reader can decide for themselve on this one whether its through fraud, malice , poor management or plain greed, one thing is certain of course, prices will rise.
