Delta Insider Articles List in Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Yeah, I know what ya mean, because our little country town is Delta,
GM, Ford, Home Depot, Ga Pacific, and some others like now N. Caolina owned banks. Well today, at least ...uh...uh....we have a home-owned newspaper that seems to be thriving, though Rupert Murdoch's NY POST is rumoredly seeking to eat AJC sour dough bread with a version of NY POST tabloid South. Seriously: H.D. stock is off and there's feuding, fussing, and dissension. Delta is not as solvent as the Bank of China. Ga. Pacific has been sold to some moguls of Kansas. GM & Ford ain't selling as many SUV et cetera (no Republicans know from nuthin why this is so) , and shutting their assembly lines soon or next year. Hey, what's wrong with rubbing-in some dumb butt politiks if you're a Democrat and still ****ed about the way they treated Mike Dukakis. When things were going fantab for Delta--not that long ago--ValueJet could barely get a few gates on Concourse D, a longgggggg walk when ya got off the escalator. Today, Air tran is closer and it appears gets all the gates it can afford. But thye AJC does report all these above, because otherwise I wouldn't know about such. You may sometimes need to read between the lines--especially when they called me a perennial weed and endiorsed my Ga. legislature opponents Athon and Henson --but they are a pretty good newspaper imho. mrtravel wrote: Robert Cohen wrote: I was looking for an optimistic recovery article I saw in the real paper a couple of days ago, and note this article index would be relevant, though I do have much more significant complaints about stale pretzels and boring CNN airport news.

BellSouth
South Central Bell Suffering Belle Cingular It's indeed complicated, and when I get in the mountains, Judge Weinstein's momentous decision affects the dead spots reaped by the rugged competitions spawned by T-Mobile, Sprint, Blah & Bleh. Thus, I try not to keep-up too closely with it all, because it's hard enough to learn to punch the little phones: I can't recall my !@#$%^&*()_+ phone numbers. And so: www.ajc.com copyrighted by the usual suspect 2006 Opponents make case to FCC on AT&T, BellSouth merger By SCOTT LEITH The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Published on: 06/07/06 If history is any guide, AT&T's acquisition of BellSouth won't be stopped. But opponents are lobbying against it anyway - or at least asking the Federal Communications Commission to place special conditions on the pending deal. The deadline for submitting comments about the AT&T/BellSouth combo passed Monday, spurring critics of various stripes to offer remarks against what would be a landmark deal. For example, four groups - including Consumers Union, which publishes Consumer Reports - submitted a filing to the FCC that argued the deal would have "profoundly anticompetitive effects" on voice and Internet service. "Unless the merger is rejected outright or, at a minimum, dramatically altered, consumers will witness the steady march of the telecommunications industry back toward a de facto, deregulated monopoly," the filing said. The companies see it differently, and they'll be able to submit responses to the FCC, if they want, by June 20. Already, the companies have claimed their merger will be good for customers. The deal is expected to close by the end of the year. "We really feel we're on track," BellSouth spokesman Jeff Battcher said Tuesday. "We obviously were prepared there would be comments from those who have their own narrow, special interests." Though the FCC is just one of several governmental bodies that must approve the deal, the agency is a critical player. The FCC hasn't halted big telecommunications deals in the recent past, including the giant mergers of AT&T/SBC Communications and Verizon/MCI. Some of the groups that oppose the AT&T/BellSouth linkup fought previous mergers to no avail. "They should block this merger," Mark Cooper, director of research at the Consumer Federation of America, said during a news conference Tuesday. "They probably should have blocked this whole string of mergers." The AT&T/BellSouth approval process, however, has a couple of new wrinkles, thanks to the emergence of a pair of high-profile issues. One is network neutrality, which revolves around whether Internet service providers should be able to charge extra for faster delivery of certain kinds of content. Many groups and companies are adamantly opposed, including Google, saying a loss of neutral access will threaten Internet freedom. Separately, phone companies have been under the microscope since USA Today reported in May that AT&T, Verizon Communications and BellSouth cooperated with the National Security Agency on a spying program. BellSouth has denied the paper's claims and asked for a retraction. The American Civil Liberties Union previously asked the FCC to investigate and, in a filing Monday, reiterated its request. "BellSouth has publicly and emphatically denied participation in the NSA program, while AT&T has refused to confirm or deny its participation," the filing said. "If we take BellSouth's insistence at face value, then the public interest is served by ensuring that BellSouth's customers continue to have their privacy protected, unlike AT&T customers, whose privacy appears to have been violated." While activist groups have been among the prominent critics of the proposed deal, Sprint Nextel also is concerned. The company, one of the nation's biggest wireless providers, wants the FCC to impose conditions to control the power of the new AT&T. Sprint Nextel's filing said the company relies on AT&T and BellSouth to provide connections for a sizable portion of Sprint's cellphone services. AT&T and BellSouth also are co-owners of Cingular Wireless, which will become wholly owned by AT&T What PSC is requesting The Georgia Public Service Commission filed a statement as well, asking that AT&T be required to offer stand-alone digital subscriber line service in BellSouth's nine-state territory. According to the filing, BellSouth doesn't offer this service, which means a customer who wants BellSouth Internet service also must also subscribe to phone service. A small Atlanta-based telecom company, Cbeyond Communications, also was involved in a filing that criticized the merger. "One can only wonder when the commission will say that enough is enough and stop the incessant effort of AT&T to re-establish a nationwide wireline monopoly," said the filing, which was supported by several companies. The FCC is expected to issue an order on the AT&T/BellSouth matter sometime this fall. In addition to regulatory approvals, the companies must get sign-offs from shareholders. Separate, special meetings are scheduled for July 21 in BellSouth's hometown of Atlanta and in San Antonio, where AT&T is based. When announced, AT&T's acquisition of BellSouth was valued at $67 billion. ADVERTISEMENT MOST POPULAR STORIES Boy, 9, hacked to death; was right man shot?
