Perhaps you'd be glad to know government recently said SBC
didn't have to allow resellers to use their lines.
IIRC, FCC said this would <cough> "encourage competition" <cough>.
Gotta love our elected officials.

It only encourages competition from the cable(who i use) companies, and
wireless companies. I have a real problem with that, because SBC laid
those lines, when some risk was removed by granting them a monopoly on
service. The lines should have reverted to the municipalities that
granted that monopoly after a specified time. The cable companies are in
the same boat, if not just a little less so. The only company that we
have here that laid their lines, without government assistance to remove
the risks has been Everest(a subsidiary of Aquila). They laid fiber to
specific neighborhoods, and have grown throughout our community for the
last few years. They are managing to compete so far, but since COX is
trying to buy TWC, they could soon be squashed.
