Re: interesting

Since telephone usage is a service they can amend the TOS so tha any usage by those not authorized by the seller is fraudulent use.

Remember the day when the telcos charged per phone and would ocassionally test a subscribers line for additional phone ringers?

Re: interesting

Well, it's phone service, so it's governed by tariffs, not some TOS on a webpage.

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.
