Apparently, this has been in the news for a couple of days, but only just hit my hometown paper.... === AT&T Inc. has started offering a broadband Internet service for $10 a month, cheaper than any advertised plan. The DSL, or digital subscriber line, plan introduced Saturday is part of the concessions made by AT&T to the Federal Communications Commission to get its $86 billion acquisition of BellSouth Corp. approved last December. The $10 offer is available to customers in the 22-state AT&T service region, which includes Michigan, who have never had AT&T or BellSouth broadband. === Basically, it's only available to *OUR* customers that switch! What the heck is the FCC thinking? Did AT&T basically say, "Please don't throw me into that briar patch." I cannot even lease dialup lines from AT&T/BS at that rate. It will put all competitors out of business. Anybody considering a lawsuit to stop this happening?
