Just some of the press....

Bruce Kushnick just spent seven years writing his "unauthorized
biography" of the Bell telephone monopolies. His unpublished,
475-page manuscript exposes how the Baby Bells have been ripping
us off since they were born out of AT&T in 1984.

The Unauthorized Bio Of The Baby Bells An
Info-Scandal
By
Bruce
Kushnick
-- May 3rd, 1999
[Editor's Note: The Information
Highway runs through the switches and over the wires of the
telephone operating companies. Author Bruce A. Kushnick in his
book, 
The
Unauthorized Biography of the Baby Bells & Info-Scandal
suggests we haven't gotten what we've paid for in terms of
high-speed access improvements. The question of what we're going
to get, and when, from the telephone companies affects every
denizen of cyberspace. Kushnick's opinions are unorthodox, but
well grounded. This excerpt is from the summary at the end of his
book; each point is backed by pages of research earlier in this
474-page work.]
The
Trail of Broken Promises
Former consultant uses pen to battle the Baby
Bells.
By David S. Isenberg, America's
Network
Bruce Kushnick doesn't get invited to fancy
telecom meetings anymore. When he began exposing the Baby Bells'
patterns of broken promises, his status dove from top telemedia
consultant to industry pariah.
Sects,
Lies and Red Tape
by Patricia

Are consumer sects all part of a larger conspiracy exercised by the
telecommunications industry to minimize competition and maximize
margins? No. The grass roots and the half-truths are simply business
as usual, reminding ISPs that Ma Bell may have been disbanded, but
the Baby Bell’s learned their business models from Mommy
Dearest.
Bruce Kushnick, author of The
Unauthorized Biography of the Baby Bells, estimates that
somewhere between 30 to 50% of all Internet Service Providers receive
sub-standard customer service from their line provider.
Kushnick documents the incumbents' decade-long pattern of stalling
tactics and broken promises that have delayed a fiber
infrastructure.

The ongoing legislative attempts to open up cable's

nothing more than trying to open a knot of wires with your toes. Yes,
