| The only real way to break them up is to split them into a wholesale and retail side. Let the ILEC become the ones that maintain the "Network" and bring products to market. Regulate the wholesale side and make USF fees work like they are intended to.
Let the retail side operate like a CLec. The ILecs often complain that their hands are tied when comes to competing with Clecs on pricing. This would free them up to compete on pricing. If they are paying the same price that any other CLec pays then they could compete accordingly. |
