| no doubt about it telecom policy is hosed in the U.S. and I'm not too optimistic about the 1996 Telecom bill re-write.
Telecom policy now seems to be controlled by the ILECs, with liberal use of lawsuits and compliant (ie, easily purchased or easy to fool or both) legislators.
anyone who thinks the '96 bill re-write will favor consumers, raise your hand...
anyone? | |

Tort reform would appear to be a one-way street in BushWorld, huh? Stop signs for citizen class action; green lights for corporations vs citizen interest. Though I'm dubious any municipality has any interest other than private coffers in mind.
Mike "Where do I work now, Daddy?" Powell proved that skilled shills can speak out of all three sides of their mouth on such issues.
