As I recall, the Bells are TELEPHONE companies first. As long as it's been since I've had one, most Americans do still have landlines for telephony. This especially includes businesses. In fact, businesses that might be swayed by such acts far outweigh home users. Also, not ALL home users have or would want wireless.
At any rate, it was a damaged building. BellSouth is going to have to pay to reconstruct the building. In the capitalist spirit of BellSouth, I hope New Orleans decides to pass rezoning for that area (I doubt many citizens would care) or at a bare minimum find a way to tax the bejeebus out of BellSouth, in kind of course.
