AT&T continues forced bundling, even after said their CEO said it’s a bad idea

Well they are wiring my neighborhood for Uverse, which makes me happy because the premium DSL connection I already have may increase its speed to 10MBPS. Interesting thing about Uverse. If you want TV service, you have to take internet service. Interesting thing about DSL service, you have to take a phone line to get it. In my case we have a bare bones telephone line we never use but pay for along with all of its attached taxes and fees every month.

Now, about what AT&T’s CEO as been saying:

Now, I would be very happy if I could have my DSL and not pay for the phone line. I am sure that AT&T will have much better luck selling their TV service a la carte rather than requiring the purchase of other 2 land line services to get it. Even the cable guys will usually sell one of their offerings a la carte. Hey AT&T - this is not the way to get new customers! AT&T shareholders should be outraged.
