Re: i've got a better idea If the copper plant were "given to the public domain" then those "competitive rates" charged by CLECs would disappear! The CLECs couldn't afford to maintain the plant and compete with the ILECs. They might do it at the large biz customer level, but not at the residential level as the residential market is the most costly to serve. The result would be expensive telephony services that would become more and more unstable. Does this really serve anyone?? Besides, if fiber went by your home - would you want DSL as we know it (over copper)? |
