Unlimited Local/Reginonal/Long Distance calling?

Couple of questions:

1) Doesn't Wcom have to pay the RBOC's for the "last mile connectivity" to terminate the calls? So if the consumer gets unlimited calling, it's possible that many of these Neighbourhood customers will generate LOSSES for WCOM?

2) Will this plan likely only attract the heavy local users? So all WCOM ends up doing is subsidizing these heavy users since the $50 won't cover the payouts that has to be made to the RBOC's who own the copper to the homes.

This plan could generate new revenue but at NEGATIVE cashflow!!!
