Oversight needed...

I may sound rather impulsive. But I went ahead and complained to my two senators (Casey and Specter). I wonder if I should complain to my reps as well.

The FCC has become a shill for the telcos, period. There seems to be nothing but asinine decisions ever since Michael Powell...IMHO.

Lag begins at the top...

I personally agree with the decision, if companys want to be competitive they should invest in building their own networks just as the "bells" did.

You do realize that "Bell" built the networks under an entirely different set of circumstances than exists today. Back when the network was built, it was far easier to get easements and RoW space granted to you.

The fact is that the current climate of providers leasing space from the ILECS was suppose to be temporary. They were suppose to use the income from those operations to then go and build out their own networks. However, before any of that could really happen, the TA1996 was gutted over and over again. Now the ability of the remaining companies to actually build networks has been killed. With the massive cost of renting pole space, RoW and easement costs, any new player is basically left in the position of a quadraplegic asked to box Mike Tyson.
