But, but, if it's unregulated, then the eeevil companies will be able to force us to buy it, become a monopoly and then take advantage of us (not necessarily in that order).

You forgot that once they become a monopoly, then they were paid for with taxes!

| Of course this effects the criminals over at SBC; at least indirectly. Every court in the land that upholds open access is another nail in the cofin of the Bell Monopolies that caused the loss of 1 trillion dollars in private Capital durring the dot com bust. Talking about fraud over at MCI while ignoring the fact that SBC is the most fined on going quasi legal criminal enterprise in the US means nothing. Big Ed and his buddies down in San Antonio should be in in a cell next to Sadam because he and his lobyists have done more to harm America than Sadam and Moooomar combined. |

Sure, like they were in PA when the telco took billions from Joe Taxpayer in exchange for deployment, didn't even come close to their deployment agreement and won't give the money back to the taxpayers who paid it. When SPECIFIC companies are earmarked for preferential treatment by tax authorities IN EXCHANGE FOR DEPLOYMENT...that's tax paid deployment...no matter how you telco shills spin it.
