Lauren may be ranting, but that doesn't make him wrong.

the DSL CLECs were methodically slow-rolled out of existence
by aggressive predatory tactics by the RBOCs.  we saw that
first-hand every day trying to install and support DSL customers.

for someone to suggest that the broadband service business is just  
peachy,
and that industry-destroying anti-competitive behavior in the space  
hasn't happened
before and is unlikely to happen again, especially given its  
unchallenged
success at eliminating competition, is patently absurd.
