Duke: The CW union is a powerful one. I agree with the cost analysis that said wires have long been paid for but getting access to those lines requires a little more than just walking into the CO and saying let me plug in. On the other hand I dont see why the CLEC's couldn't build their own CO's and put in their own head end equipment but they would have to fund the capex whereas their comp the RBOC's wouldn't. It is very hard to overcome the sunk costs of the old entrenched wireliners. Of course judge Green was not aware of digitization could and would do to the industry. The RBOC's are not my favorite people. They are like the dog in the manger.JFD
