It's clear that a storm is brewing. The question is just how strong.

There's something brewing for sure.

I made that declaration and I didn't question it. It was clear to me what I wanted to be. My dad said there was no money in that, but that's what I wanted to do ... Thank God my mom said I could be whatever I wanted. I listened to her because that made sense.

Let's be clear, I'm a strong woman.

We have something else brewing for tomorrow to get the customers back.

The question arises - would they have survived if they hadn't had any missteps in that perfect storm, if they had just stuck to being an ILEC serving their 100-year-old franchise?
