    SBC HITCHES MASS ADSL DEPLOYMENT PLANS TO FCC RULINGS

Incidentally, I have a personal distaste for posting press releases.
Normally, just posting a URL and a short summary are sufficient.

Since you cross posted this to a cable modem group, I have a dumb

chronically loses money.  How is AT&T going to get their $2000 per
customer back?
