I declare Sue-War on Baby Bells!

Right now! I got the RIAA's, Microsoft's and O.J.'s lawyers. Should be interesting.

James Earl Jones sounds worried

Well, it looks like Verizon's finally open to being sued for monopolistic practices.

Lawyers to Verizon: "Can you hear us now? Good..." :]

Great!

Does this mean that when they finally split Microsoft up, we can then sue the component parts for antitrust violations, too? And then sue the bits of them? Whoopee!

Anyone fancy a game of Microsoft Pang [crazybone.com]?

Tried to call...

I tried to call some lawyers involved in a class-action anti-trust law suit against the phone company, but their phone was disconnected....

Seems it was all just smoke and mirrors....

Only locals?

Damn! I'm fine with my local, but I really want to sue Verizon.

Not for their service or anything like that. I just hate the "Can you hear me now? Good," guy.

The Race is On

Which will cause Qwest to declare bancruptcy first:

poor management or lawsuits?

My money is on management. Lawsuits take forever to have an impact.
