the demise of the CLEC's is a two edge sword. The CLEC's were pushing the regional teleco's to open and was speeding the push for xDSL, the CLEC's have lost the war, so we lose not only high speed but productivity is reduced at the regional teleco's. Not to mention stifling the concept we call the Internet to boot. Be wants Broadband for the Masses in the budget.

I dont agree that broadband got pushed back 5 yrs just the extraneous players a few DSL guys will survive that may be all we need Verizon and a few others, not 62 of them ATT MediaOne, TimeWhiner for broadband and a few others, not 46 of them yes, $60B aint spit all the infighting will reveal how little, how late it all has become I focus now on little upshoots of inflationary signals not widespread stuff, Lordy but gasoline for starters and oodles of other pockets where competition has recently been laid to rest for a long time and innovators have been put on hold for a period of time excess labor is being held onto in poor judgment which will cause pressure to raise prices gotta justify these higher discretionary costs /JW
