That's been most of my point when I've been talking about it. AT&T was all "oh, look at the awesome stuff we're gonna do for you!" and, um, well, no. Mind you, some of the bits and pieces probably /did/ come out of bell labs to one degree or another. But still, the whole ad campaign is one of the biggest - to my mind - examples of a big company saying "look how cool we are!" and then completely and utterly failing to deliver.
