Additionally, resale of local phone service to the same class of customer is expressly authorized by the Telecom Act of '96--there are serious legal hurdles to any effort to ban resale. (47 USC 251(b)(1)) (Not that this will stop the ILECs from trying.)

Some ILEC monopolists are probably higher on the panic meter today because of this--but they're late to the party.

Not on such a grandiose scale tho

Just using modems that would allow us to reach our home networks, then from there out to whereever

This lead to the idea that we could share each other's lines, etc
