I hope it isn't just that easy for them.
A good think for consumers in served areas, very likely.
A good thing for competitions and Anti-Trust, definately not.
A good thing for WISPs and rural America, not a chance.
One arguement could be made that if Verizon could obtain more revenue from
subscribers for more services, they could likely afford to expand to more
rural areas, that otherwise would not be cost effective.
Allowing Verizon to have quicker access to provide services, gives
competitors less time to gain market share, to the point that they can be a
worthly competitor long term.

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
