There are only so many line i/f >cards you can stuff into a switch/CO. A company who wants to drive you out of business offers a "solution" and you want us to just take it at face value? Sorry, but I have too much experience to believe PacBell is trying solve any problem other than making more profit. If they wanted to provide cages at fair prices where we ISPs could put routers, modems, etc. and have 24x7 access, with detailed contracts, then maybe I could go along with a PacBell solution. But only as an option to their current service. You have be quite out of it to think PacBell is not trying to drive their competitors out of business.
