Frank, I know the thread dances around the regulatory questions every once in a while, but let me try to clarify whether there are any legal reasons why some ILECs have shied away from a full-scale assault on xDSL. It is my understanding that the FCC has issued an order stating their intention to require ILECs to unbundle DSL at cost if the ILEC offer it themselves. If the ILEC creates a separate subsidiary (with all the attendant handcuffs), the ILEC can offer DSL without having to unbundle. Can that be something that is slowing them down? Maybe they are waiting to see whether they can win at the FCC or in the courts to squash the unbundling requirements. In my experience, I've noticed that a lot of ILECs have completely overlooked the DSL unbundling issues in their negotiations, and there are a lot of screwy contracts out there which give savvy CLECs powerful unbundling rights over ILECs that deploy DSL. Just throwing that out for discussion.

Doughboy.
