Re: Telcos lay down lines....
Of course, TWC was forced to do so under their "social contract" with the FCC.
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. (As it stands now, in some cases Bells charge indie ISPs more for LOOPS ALONE than they do for their own retail ISP product.) Those served by Covad and other DCLECs seem to be completely unaffected...for now.
