Re: This is not new
Explain why a CLEC can provide DSL while the ILEC still provides dial tone.
I believe the Telco's DSL division has the same legal standing as a CLEC, unless you can convince me otherwise. So why can't one CLEC provide dial tone while another provides DSL? Isn't that what unbundling and competition is all about?
Isn't this simply another anti competitive action taken by a monopoly?
Why haven't the RBOCs tried this in areas where they can now offer long distance? Is that next?
ILECs need to be reduced to wholesale local loop providers only whose customers are the retail service providers. All other traditional telecom services for business and residential users should be provided by competing entities, together or separate based on the consumer's desire.
I can hear the teco supporters, "that wouldn't be fair, its our infrastructure. blah blah blah", the same arguments Ma Bell tried. |
