If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them

A few weeks back the CEO of Verizon criticized SBC's move to lower DSL prices.

Now it seems that Verizon is following suit.

My guess is that Verizon realized that if they don't lower prices they never will find a way to get VoIP into more houses, and with the MCI network technology soon to be theirs (even if it is aging and more circa 2000 than 2005) it still gives them a leg to stand on when it comes to boosting their VoiceWing efforts.
