bring added competition and renewed investment and stability to the
sector, AT&T Chairman and CEO David Dorman said today during a
keynote address at the American Enterprise Institute. Dorman used his
appearance at the institute to promote the pending merger of AT&T and
SBC, which he said is "in the public interest and the broader competitive
and economic interests of the nation as a whole."

>From the BRIDGE Annual Report, on regional phone companies -
Verizon, SBC Communications, BellSouth and Qwest - and their plans to
offer fiber services to consumers. "The fiber efforts have attracted big
names. Three of the RBOCs have partnered with Microsoft for use of its
TV software platform. Verizon has contracted with set-top manufacturer
Motorola. And the companies are working with key programmers such
as Discovery Communications and Court TV. The companies will have
advanced video services similar to what's offered by incumbent
competitors, including linear channel lineups and more advanced items
such as on-demand content." For more on The BRIDGE, visit:
