All, Verizon successfully wins the forbearence ruling. Verizon did not even have to prove there case because this was defaulted on. This is a good thing for this industry or for Rural America?

Verizon wins waiver for high-speed service WASHINGTON: The U.S. Federal Communications Commission has freed Verizon Communications from rules on high-speed data services it sells to large businesses. The commission granted a petition from Verizon to ease regulations on fiber-optic services, such as Ethernet applications and virtual private networks that businesses use for purposes other than Internet access. Verizon's petition was granted by default because the commission, made up of two Republican and two Democratic members, failed to rule on it before a deadline of noon on Monday. "The order was circulated 3 weeks ago by the chairman and was not resolved," an FCC spokesman said. $@ (Bloomberg)" Regards, Dawn --- --- -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/ -- No virus found in this incoming message.
