CLECs, Incumbents and the Impact of Tauzin/Dingell Mike, You might well find this American Enterprise Institute scholar's viewpoint of interest (I did): Message 15978626 It was particularly chilling to see how Tauzin/Dingell could easily be correlated with the destruction of huge amounts of equity. Whether there is a cause and effect relationship in not really proven, IMHO, but nonetheless, it is a chilling reminder that of the potential for mischief, and the power to destroy that our government holds.

Mike, thx alot for rounding out your view of the situation. I do think I understand your position more detailed now. Yes I agree also with your shortterm conclusion of ILECs vs. MSOs - court battles and lobbying. But don't expect too much especially from the legislative side - see: Tauzin/Dingell's bill and how far it came or better how far it didn't come.. And don't forget the IXCs. As soon as it becomes clear exactly HOW a feasible, profitable CLEC model could look like, I fully expect the IXCs to step up to this plate big time. In this regard I really would like to see schemes lik BBFW to succeed. Hopefully the FCC will leave those MMDS licence bands unchanged and does NOT allocate them to the 3G black hole. rgrds CROSSY
