Elmat, thx for pointing out this difference. So what you are proposing is a model similar to the proposed dereg. of the public railway system in Europe ? I mean the UK model where there is Railtrack and separate transport companies who just pay a fee for usage of the "network" Well I would conclude that such a model may create a real incentive to mass deploy a PON/FTTH architecture, even more if there are decreasing cost issues over time associated with it. all the best CROSSY

elmatador- Sounds nice in theory as you take the Telecom Act one step further. But ten thousand lawyers only benefited from Telecom Act. I see another ten thousand being added with attempting to separate physical from logical. It still does not end parking, sweeping, bathroom, etc, wars in the CO. Or whatever else the ILECs come up with in order not to give up the copper plant. thread- I literally mean bathroom wars too. For those that don't know, legal rules had to be drawn up for the use of the CO bathrooms by CLECs. It went, on and on and on. I think they came up with bathroom monitor personnel to solve the problem. Wouldn't surprise me if it was a full time position to lead CLEC employees to the bathrooms. -MikeM(From Florida)
