If anyone recalls the argument I had with Charles Wu...about how I would NEVER surrender ownership of every part of my own network, from customer to carrier hotel if there was any way of keeping it...
This kind of dependency upon regulatory whims, or the goodwill of public agencies is NOT healthy to a secure future. I'm thinking I shouild contact my DSL selling competition and say "Before it's too late, lets get you signed up to resell my services or contract with me to provide transport". Owning the infrastructure and last mile are absolutely invaluable.
