Talk:Bell System divestiture
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd like to see a chart somewhere with all of the other divestures and mergers. The Comcast deal, Lucent and all of the other deals that went with it. Anyone know of a good site to track all of that?
[edit] Merger
Maybe this page should merge with Regional Bell Operating Company and keep the name Bell System Divesture.--85.130.153.231 05:09, 25 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Uhm...
"In 1982 the FCC declared that Internet service providers would be treated as if they were local and would not have to pay these access charges. This led to VoIP service providers arguing that they did not have to pay access charges - resulting in significant savings for VoIP calls."
Is this correct? The date seems way too early. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.105.136.180 (talk) 19:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] CLECs
- The local telecommunications market has remained essentially a monopoly, with the incidental and short lived appearance of competitive telephone companies (CLECs) after the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Funny, nobody seems to have told Comcast and RCN that. 121a0012 17:13, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
