The Clear Sound Communications takeover of local telephone service, which was originally welcome with great optimism, now seems to be heading down the road toward disaster. Ever since Clear Sound bought out the FreeTel Company just under six months ago, it has experienced loss of income, loss of customer, and, perhaps worst of all, the loss of its reputation as a company that delivers on its promises. When Clear Sound came into the area, it promised that all its telephone customers would have access to hight-speed Internet service by the end of the year. Not only has the company failed to deliver on this promise, but customers who are receiving Clear Sound Internet service have expressed great dissatisfaction with it.
