PD pulls punch on WiFi editorial
Via the Cuyahoga County Planning Commission Weblog, “A Plain Dealer editorial admonishes SBC for going on the attack against OneCleveland“. From the editorial:
“[I]t is not hard to understand SBC’s trepidation. All telecommunications firms face an uncertain future as they compete for customers with cable and wireless companies on a technological terrain that is constantly changing. Thus, anything that looks like a competitor smacks of danger. The interest in OneCleveland shown by Intel, with its growing array of wireless applications, must seem especially threatening to SBC.”
Trepidation? I wouldn’t call lobbying the state legislature and writing nasty letters to civic leaders trepidation.
All I’ve got to say about the editorial board of the Plain Dealer is - wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.
I’m going to have to look at an issue of the PD to see if there’s another one of those full page DSL ads in it. But then again, it’s probably too much for me to expect one corporate fat cat to ask another to change.
I sincerely hope that if SBC is going to continue to play the competition, not collaboration game that OneCleveland forces increased competition for SBC. The only thing that stops an 800# gorilla is a bigger gorilla.
