As for the Bells, I expect that most Bells will continue to offer wholesale "loop" services to independent ISPs despite the ruling, just at higher prices; heck, even Verizon has been reported to be working with indie ISPs for access to FiOS.

Those served by Covad and other DCLECs seem to be completely unaffected...for now.
