"Everything you're saying is indicative of the FCC understanding of these matters. It's prejudiced against free market solutions and so are you even though you think you aren't. You want free market solutions under conditions which make the market fair, and that is explicitly contradictory. For, when they're legislated to be fair, they're no longer free and they are neither fair nor efficient." So what you are saying is no restrictions on when and how you can compete - just let the longs go local and the locals go long anyway they want to - build, purchase, whatever. Fine but that's a fantasy - not the situation. The point is that the previous posts suggested that the FCC was going to have a problem with ATT & TCI due to the fact that they will be able to offer local calling. What I'm saying is that I don't believe there is any restriction on the longs going local because there is competition in the longs market. BTW, a free market is neither fair nor unfair unless you believe competition is inherently unfair - which I don't. I think we've had this discussion before.
