Seems like the Verizon problem is a bit more difficult. I wrote about one municipality in western MD that built their own wireless web. They were constantly worried that some lawyer from Verizon would show up.
Verizon will do anything -- by hook or by crook -- to forestall any and all competition. Note that the law protects them but not cable modemproviders. And it explicitly protects ONLY the ILEC, not CLECs. This means
that even an infrastructure-based CLEC gets no protection. The law puts the Baby Bells in the catbird seat. --Brett ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
