BellSouth Can Force DSL Customers To Buy
Local Phone Service

BellSouth Can Force DSL Customers To Buy
Local Phone Service 01/27/2004 10:59 PM
Just a few months after the Georgia Public Utilities Commission told BellSouth that they can't force DSL customers to buy local phone service, a federal court has ruled (in a separate case) that BellSouth isn't violating anti-trust laws by requiring DSL customers to have local phone service. The article doesn't have many details, but it sounds like those who filed the lawsuit did a very bad job explaining their case. The judge simply tossed out the case saying that "the customers lacked legal standing to pursue the lawsuit and failed to state any valid legal claims" against BellSouth. It would be nice if there were more details, because on the face of it, you would think the case would at least get heard. If BellSouth is the only way to get DSL (thus, a monopoly) and they're then forcing customers to buy local phone service (something they don't want), it certainly sounds like an anti-trust violation.

BellSouth to Offer Hotspots to Internet
Customers

BellSouth to Offer Hotspots to Internet
Customers 03/06/2004 01:49 AM
BellSouth says it is building 100 hotspots in Charlotte, N.C.: Existing DSL and dial up customers will be able to use the hotspots, which will become available in the second quarter, for free. It's not clear if folks who are not BellSouth Internet customers will be able to use the network. BellSouth doesn't seem to have a press release about this on its Web site; maybe the story was announced locally in Charlotte. BellSouth is one of the few major landline operators that has yet to announce a Wi-Fi strategy. The company owns a variety of wireless licenses in and around the MMDS bands. This is pure speculation, but BellSouth would be smart to build hotspots once WiMax gear is available and comes down in price because it can use its licensed frequencies and WiMax to backhaul hotspots at a low cost....
