Follow Bellco efforts to intimidate
Daniel Berninger here This web site reports on calls for help by people suffering Bell company predatory tactics. The effort seeks to make it more difficult for the Bells (Verizon, SBC, BLS, Qwest) to maintain the charade of amiable defender of the public interest while over charging captive retail customers and preying on wholesale customers. Call for help by sending email to:
dan@danielberninger.com Power corrupts. Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. We can't let money or political power obscure the truth. The Bell companies act as if they are above the law - because they are. Bell company political power means they do not fear the Congress, FCC, DoJ, SEC, State Legislatures, or State PUC's. They don't fear anything except customer outrage - in other words you!.

GAME OVER - VERIZON AND NTEGRITY SETTLE - THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORTCall for Help! #1: Verizon Trying to Destroy Keith MachenPlease join me in solidarity with entrepreneur Keith Machen as he finds out what happens when principle meets unchecked power. Ivan Seidenberg, CEO, Verizon wants Keith to sign an agreement settling the antitrust complaint Ntegrity brought against Verizon. Mr. Seidenberg will make it economically easy for Keith by stopping efforts to collect on $4 million in disputed bills. The settlement will let Keith get on with his life. All he has to do is sign a misleading document that paints a false picture in support of Verizon's strategy to frame AT&T as the source of its antitrust troubles. Verizon does not want to admit a tiny company might pose such a threat or that it would spend $14 million dollars to bury what essentially amounts to a customer. We hear reports of pressure tactics to extract statements in third world countries, but it seems Verizon sees no ethical problem with the approach to get what it wants. Ivan Seidenberg does not like antitrust complaints. Keith's company grew to only one ten thousandth the size of Verizon, but it attracted the full wrath of Verizon's legal machinery. Ntegrity disputed $4 million in charges. Verizon sued to collect. Keith countered sued on antitrust grounds with the help of Diana Parker a trial lawyer in NYC. Mr. Seidenberg hired a dozen lawyers from three major law firms and brought in Dan Webb to lead the defense. Mr. Webb led Microsoft's defense in the case brought by the Department of Justice. Ivan Seidenberg seemed to think he needed Mr. Webb's help to defend him from Keith Machen. Ivan lost the first round when the New Jersey Federal Court Judge agreed to hear Ntegrity's antitrust complaint. The presiding judge subsequently went on senior status and lost responsibility for the case. Enter a new Judge. This one with a track record of siding with big business. Ivan wins dismissal. Keith could now appeal the case. Two out of three appeals in other areas of the country have succeeded in over turning the lower court dismissals. Enter Ivan Seidenberg with an offer Keith can't refuse. Sign a document that gives the impression AT&T orchestrated all of Verizon's antitrust problems. Ivan Seidenberg should not be able to use money collected from Verizons captive customers and political power obtained through campaign contribution largesse to steal Keith Machen's integrity. What options does anyone have in disputes with Verizon or the other Bells? People like Keith represent the best of the American spirit. Please join me in supporting Keith. You can send him encouragement via keith@ntegrity.com. Please also cc: dan@danielberninger.com and I will present your messages in person to Ivan Seidenberg. If Verizon did not violate the antitrust laws, why do they have to use scorched earth tactics to make Keith Machen settle the complaint? Tell Ivan the Terrible to call off the dogs!
