We have a winner! Suck up to AT&T contest
We have a winner in our bet to see who would be the first out of the box to publicly claim that the AT&T/BellSouth re-monopolization would be "good for consumers and competition." Read on! (Hint: it's NOT odds-on favorite Walt McC.)
Never heard of this group before, but in today's CommunicationsNews email blast (we're too cheap to spring for a full sub), there is this snippet:
The Competitive Enterprise Institute called the merger of AT&T and BellSouth "a pro-competitive move that will benefit consumers."
And who would know better! Ladies and gents, some BellSouth golf shirts for our winners... soon to be a collector's item. (Judges note: If we find out that this group is funded by AT&T, we may void their victory.)
Poor Walt... maybe he can make up lost ground in his sure-to-kiss-somewhere-on-Ed keynote at TelecomNext. Or should that be TelecomOne? Can't wait!
