Instead the consortium is believed to be examining ways to increase political pressure on BT to re-examine the proposal in the interests of stimulating demand for broadband services.

elmatador- I think the only way an incumbent is going to let go of the copper pairs is for potential buyers to go crying to the government. And once the government gets involved, it's lights out for broadband. It would be a worse nightmare than the 96 Telecom Act to work up rules for a separation of twisted pair from equipment. Simply a nightmare. It would take lawyers and lobbists about four years to simply draw up the rules.

Once again, IMO let the natural monopolies fight it out--Twisted pair, cablecos, broadband fixed wireless, fiberless optics, mobile wireless, satellite, etc. We should give up on trying to blame/punish the ILEC twisted pair players for everything gone wrong. -MikeM(From Florida)
