Re: FCC Dereg efforts are succeeding said by nasadude:I think I already asked you this on another thread Road Warrior, but what telco do you work for? Never worked for a telco. I was Dir Telecomm/Datacomm at a large multi-state corporation and negotiated contracts(along with a passel of lawyers, which explains why I hate lawyers) with major telcos and network equipment vendors before I retired. During my tenure, in a 5 yr period, we cut our telecomm budget from $20 million/yr down to $5 million/yr and did that without outsourcing the work. So for us the 1996 dereg worked great.

But a good chunk was in lower costs for PBXs/CBXs as well. And in a switchover from an old IBM SNA network to an intranet setup with routers, switches, etc.

Belvedere Tiburon, CA | Well, the LD and private line data costs all dropped because of "managed competition". PBXs exist only because the Bells were required to allow them as competition for Centrex service. So, except for the direct Internet savings over the SNA, it was all due to "managed" or "regulated" competition, not total free market yee-hah.
