There are plenty of small dialup providers / DSL / colo providers out. Yes it will get harder but your statement is not correct. They wont just vanish.

Expect much of the market to consolidate, dry up
and eventually be taken over ny the ILECS, same as Dial Up, DSL and
Dedicated Internet Access.

This is something I've been wondering about. What does this mean for the small

with the verizon's of the world in order to provide E911 Services.


If the ruling comes down, doesn't this essentially kill all of us small
providers? This also helps the bigger boys too I would assume. Thus unfairly
providing advantage to them. We could bring a class action lawsuit if it came
down to it.


What do you guys thing of all this mess and how it affects us?


Anyone that got into the VoIP business and didn't do their homework (aka
the entire Lemonade Stand, Reseller of a Reseller, Voice over Public
Internet) is in trouble. Expect much of the market to consolidate, dry up

You cannot compete w/ the ILEC. You don't own the last mile of Copper. You
will always be at their mercy and will always be at a disadvantage. The
FCC isn't helping matters.
