To the jealous butthurt troll who keeps predicting that the company only agreed to a contract because they intend to sell the wireline -
A) Care to enlighten us as to just exactly who is going to buy wireline? B) Even if wireline did get sold to someone, based upon what I've seen in the past with other corporations, an existing contract would still remain in effect for the duration.
