(competitive carreir versus an incumbant carrier - re: 1986 telco breakup) The branches of the rboc are connecting witht the trunk again only divided by east and west coasts.. att on one side... mci on the other.. and sprint is making beautiful music with nextel.
Only problem is the deployment of fiber will take years to complete by that time wireless will have gone though a broadband revolution with minimal blackout areas in the country, creating unlimited calling plans, push to talk and video/data.
My gues is the sprint/nextel without a mainway into a bundle will have to side with a cableco(or two) for quad-play servives.
