| Re: Why... Though that may be true, the wireline telephone service is still a utility and a life line service. Cellular, and the toy-telephone service called voip is not a lifeline service at this time.
As long as telephone remains the true wireline service in this country, then telephone needs to remain regulated as a utility.
At this point, the only "TRUE" wireline alternative is DIGITAL SWITCHED cable telephone service - not VOIP either. There has to be ONE service in this country that is a lifeline service. So far, that's bell.
Like love or hate bell, they are still tried and true dial tone that you KNOW will be available when you need it. -- "Wipe out the national deficit over night... Tax the stupid!" - about 50 gMail invites available. PM if you'd like one. |
