[NTLUG:Discuss] NO MORE SPRINT ION??

[Richard Geoffrion]

> ...Sprint is killing ION and disconnecting the network.

Can they do that?  That seems pretty harsh to me.  What is up with high
speed internet access?  Why are so many companies failing? Rythums,
Northpoint, Covad....Sprint, AT&T.  What's going on and why?

I've heard rumors that AT&T wants to shutdown/sell/(or otherwise get rid of)
their broadband services.   So what happens to  digital phone subscribers
when AT&T bails?  What happens to Sprint ION customers when they no longer
have phone service?

What about 1 year (or more) service contracts!  Shouldn't they work both
ways!?!

Something is just TOO wierd.
