BRACK: Anyone know of a local, independent Internet service?

By Elliott Brack | You probably know it, but it is most frustrating dealing with communications companies. My telephone, internet and television services are with American Telephone and Telegraph, which seems to go to great lengths to make it difficult to talk to them.

BRACK: Proposed AT&T merger with Time Warner should be blocked

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Can you see any benefit from AT&T taking over (not “merging”) with Time Warner?

Do you really think a bigger AT&T is automatically better?

Why is it that these big conglomerates think that buying more companies will improve the situation, at least for those of us down here in the trenches? We can see that a larger company may make the income of the top brass significantly higher than their present fat-checks. But that surely doesn’t help the Average Joe.

BRACK: Continued frustration when fighting the telephone monopoly

BRACK: Continued frustration when fighting the telephone monopoly

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | Oh, the frustration of fighting a bureaucracy, any bureaucracy!

It started out with AT&T installing high-speed fiber optics in our office building. Eventually came a call from AT&T, suggesting that this faster Internet service would be the cat’s meow for me.
