| Two ways.
I dunno, I see this going two ways. With the 125 or so odd years of existance, the telcos are ancient. Maybe they'll respect their age and perform the way they're expected to? This definately means more revenue for them, since anyone who wants to use DSL has to go with them.
It could translate to higher money in the pockets of the execs, or they could do the right thing and invest that money in performance upgrades. I'm not just talking abotu speed. CS imrovement, more outreach, better service when shit hits the fan, stuff like that.
If they deregulate it and it all goes wrong, why can't the public just go to the FCC? Isn't that what they're for? |

hahahaha, you think they will bother to improve CS, outreach or service if they are the only game in town? They will do enough to keep the PUC off their back and thats about it. Why do you think ever LEC out there has a derogetory nickname? They do what they want when they want and thats fine.
I cannot even get DSL because I am on a 30k foot cable pair, there is a CLEV with an RT in it 4k feel from my house, but the LEC wont reengineer me over there, I have to order a second service and take the luck of the draw? Thats how they will contine to operate. |

Today the FCC is the stop over point from civil service to a nice cushy job in the communications industry with a fat pension and a fatter salary.
"Deregulation"? That's another word for "sold out" isn't it?
