I don’t understand the whole brand thing. Like RCN buys WoW and rebrands it
Astound? Personally I would not choose a name that sounds like AssTown. And
AT&T had UVerse but then the geniuses decided to rebrand it … AT&T Internet!
Or Viasat buys WildBlue, renames it Exede, then renames that … Viasat!
Personally I think they do it when the trucks need repainting.
