Viable Solution

Hopefully the trails prove that this is a viable solution for the IXCs to transfer UNE-P customers to UNE-L in a stream-lined manner. This could potentiall be a huge growth spot for Covad.

However, there is a fly in the ointment (and especially for Covad).

There would be nothing stopping the fiber-based ILECs (especially Verizon) from simply minimizing their profits on POTS by offering more AYCE voice services for either little or nothing (in an FTTP network, *all* outbound analog information becomes digital at the ONT, so Verizon's POTS customers become VoIP customers, essentially; and with the overhead from VoIP being so small, Verizon could afford to eat most, or even all, of the cost for intra-network voice calls).

It's ugly, and even reprehensible, but also *legal*, since Verizon doesn't have to lease UNE-P to anybody *and* this method of undercutting the CLECs doesn't break anti-trust laws (because Verizon is not losing money).

Expect the PUC wouldn't let them do it.
