bill. c, <<They could offer the high-speed data services known as DSL without being required to lease their own DSL facilities to competitors, but they'd have to do it through separate subsidiaries.>> Let me see if I understand this correctly. All RBOCs will create the subsidiaries and let those to A. Lease space at their COs for equipment (DSLAM) installation B. Lease local loops to consumers and businesses at discount C. Have special agreements on traffic charges What about competing ISPs and Long distance companies? A. They are not allowed to lease space at RBOCs COs at the same price as the subsidiary ??? B. They are not allowed to lease the local loops at the same discount price???? C. And they have to pay premium for the traffic, unlike the subsidiaries??? Is that the correct picture???
