The TA1996 was there to GIVE the companies a line to use WHILE they built their own network. After all THESE SAME COMPANIES DID NOT build out like they were required to and now whine and cry when something gets changed.
And starting some where? ADSL? Com'on a worthless product.

That was the plan. It never was even allowed to bear fruit. It was sent to a quick and nasty death. Many companies were destroyed who had been tricked by TA1996 into thinking the regulatory landscape would protect them and allow them to grow. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini
No NOTHING stopped the ISPs from building out. They waited until the last minute to worry about anything. That's when they were told line share would be SOL within the XX amount of time the FCC gave it.
Now they want to build out. It shows that when you let them leach off the actual provider's network they'll do it until they can't and then still do.
RTs are the way to go for ATT's network.
VZ just needs to keep building out FiOS and kicking more and more ISPs out. Hell DSLX will be off their network soon.
Your revisionist history is amazing. I watched as companies who were right in the middle of buildouts burned in flames.
Even just 2 - 3 more years and they'd of been off and running. -- "Fascism should more properly be called corporatism because it is the merger of state and corporate power." -- Benito Mussolini
