He seems to imply, however, that network unbundling, which has been at the forefront of regulatory squabbles for eight years, was introduced by the regulators. In fact, it was mandated by the 1996 Act, that required interconnection at any "technically feasible" point, a perfectly disastrous nostrum. The regulators certainly didn't do a very good job of crafting rules to implement unbundling, but the fundamental problem is in the legislation.
