Re: This is not new
Oh and by-the-way, when those states forced the ILECs to sell DSL to people who did not get local service from them, if federal law prohibited this, the ILECs would have sued the states AND WON.
This has not happened. Afaik they never sued. If they did not sue, I wonder why. Maybe it is because if they sued and lost (they probably are well aware they would lose), they would be on notice and would have to offer DSL without local service nationwide.
The status quo is that they pretend to harbor a good faith belief that their interpretation of the law is correct, and they get to misbehave and use political pressure to get their way on a state-by-state basis. |
