Just more protection of telcos;killing competition

This is just more protection of the telcos de facto monopolies around the country. At least from a logic standpoint, by declaring them an "information service" it will put them on the same legal ground as the cable companies in the data delivery marketplace. But in both cases, it allows geographic monopolies to exist. The only competition still existing is BETWEEN cable companies and telcos. But even that competition may be short lived. The cable companies have been in negotiations with the telcos over coordination of services like cell phones and VOIP deals.

Re: Just more protection of telcos;killing competi

Line sharing has always been a silly concept as long as the Telcos were allowed to offer their own competing service.

Hopefully investment will now be made in "alternative last mile technologies" such as wireless, LEO-Satellite and fiber instead of the counter-bureaucracy bureaucracy required to deploy and support services via the RBOC's lines.

GA		 Yep we could be heading back to AT&T, sort of. There's a lot of speculation the RBOC's wanna merge at the end of the day.
