"Ma Bell never "broke up," as you say." Frank- Right because they have killed their competition. BUT if they did have clear competition, then we would have considered them "broken up." IMO, it was a correct first step, but after that the 96 Telecom Act failed MISERABLY. As far as line sharing, I'm so discouraged about what happened that I'm not even bothering to learn or track any details. My guess is the ILECs will win that one too. It's like trying to kill a giant with a pea-shooter. My hope is the line sharing static will stop and the FCC will come out in strong support of the cable plant AND broadband fixed wireless. Now these networks could be the giant slayers. -MikeM(From Florida)
