There is no LEGAL monopoly. There is, in many areas, little to no competition though. As long as the ILEC owns and controls the outside plant, competition is difficult. CLECs that survive, for the most part, have their own outside plant. As a practical matter, due to the heavy capital investment, this means smaller towns.
Regardless, the PSTN IS the standard, and until VOIP reaches that level of reliability and quality, there will be many business failures John Novack -- Dog is my co-pilot _______________________________________________ --Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com-- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
