It's easy if you look at telephone cooperatives and other small telcos. In
any case, there are alot of things that looked ridiculous to the telcos 
five years ago. Such things as selling customers dedicated DS-3s looked
ridiculous to many of them (even today, some telcos can't/won't do this). 
xDSL and ISDN were (and still are) pretty funny to some telcos.
