Is this going to be another Enron fiasco? I feel sorry for Virginia. |

| I can tell you, the only reason I have a home phone at the moment is because I dropped Vonage, ordered DirecTV, and well, use it for a few calls a month.
If they do decide that they want to deregulate and raise their rates, I will drop them like a hot potato, and will not have a home phone...after all, I barely use 450 minutes on my cell phone per month. |

| They will use deregulation to bankrupt as many CLEC's as they can by lowering their own prices below what they re-sell to CLEC's.
That is what they are doing here in CAL.

Thereby PROVING what Verizon says - that they have competitors and should be deregulated.

WOW, you see I only have Cable HIS via Comcrap, and dish
is not HIS. Hello I live in Northern VA I hardly call this
competition. Lets not forget that Virgina is a huge state and many people in Virginia do not have HIS. Maybe 1/4 if that. These politicians are bought and sold. We moved away from England for a reason. How much money do we need to spend to get service wow. I thought VA people are smart and would never let these sort of issues slide. Please prove me right. |

The good folks of Virginia are smart. That has nothing to do with this, since a smart person in a capitalist society will embrace competition, and allow competitive businesses the freedom that comes from deregulation. |

You're messing up your metaphors. Enron was a case where a company's leaders didn't do what was in the company's owners' best interests. Verizon is doing precisely what is in its owners' best interests. |
