This just moves everyone who is not a "carrier" under the ACT to "commercially negotiated agreements". Some LECs may not offer the reselling of DSL to non-carrier type ISPs. This means you will need to be a CLEC or find a friendly one.+
All ISP's that are buying under tariffs have a year to make "other" arrangements. And, YES we WILL sell ADSL, SDSL, T1s and DS3s for resale by non-carriers. Nationwide footprint, we'll privision and bill YOU or your customer.
