Re: understand what your asking for folks.
Things aren't working because the telcos are NOT following the act and it's not being enforced. I hate to break it to you, but a significant number of people and money lost are from the companies the bells put out of business with anti-competitive tactics and pricing, and the rest lost is because all these bells tried to buy up everything around them with no business plans to speak off. |

The bells went out and bought -other bells-. Have you been asleep for the last 6 years? Now these companies are sagging under their own weight. Regulation is just something for them to point fingers at to blame for bad business sense.

Do you have a source to cite that shows the 1996TA is the cause of 500,000 layoffs, and backs it up with more than opinion. Sorry, I take the word of those I know who were actually trying to make a go of it over "Ivas says so".
Not trying to rip on you, but if your going to ask for citations, then prepare to provide some yourself. |

| Oh, I almost forgot. The bells pushed for deregulation and signed off on the the Telecommunications Act of 96 because they wanted to get into the long distance market so badly. Awww, but today, now that they've squandered their resources, grown too big to support themselves effectively, and abused their positions, they want the Act repealed or changed. You know what? Tough. Just like the energy market, they got what they wanted and blew it. Too bad, so sad. It's time for them to adapt or die. |
