THE MONOPOLY OF AT&T is BACK

I don't know of many people who remember the BELLS breaking up YEARS ago.... Well Guess what has happened. MA- BELL is taking her children back. At&T started buying up all the baby bells - southwestern bell is GONE as well as MANY others.

In Enid, there is only one other option for phone service... but SINCE AT&T owns the phone lines coming to you house or business... if you switch to the other phone company... you have to pay AT&T for the use of the lines... or pay HUGE CASH to get the new company to run lines to you.

I am very tempted to FIND the cash to do this.

AT&T is the phone company for my business. I am at there mercy when it comes to moving my phones from one office to another. SO, after talking to them on the phone over a month ago and confirming with them that I am moving on the 14th of April... they said NO PROBLEM~... THEN on April 4... they said it would be 30 to 45 days before ANYTHING could be done.

This is BIG BUSINESS.

Watch your phone bill. They are cutting costs everywhere... including pay and benefits to it's employees. The employees are threatening to strike. AT&T is retiring it's older personal and NOT filling these positions... BUT your and my phone bills are shooting up VERY quickly. All the while, service is dropping.

This seems to be the way of the world... pay more for less and less.

Something BIG is coming and it's gonna break badly.
