Would they have to play by the same rules the business does already?? Ya know share lines and such.. I would imagine with any communications business(and yes police department radio towers have to still obey the FCC) still have to obey the FCC guidelines in regards to competition?? I would think just because a local goverment provides the service they have to...
Right now, telcos mostly have to share lines, while cablecos mostly don't have to share lines.

I would expect muni operations would have to obey the rules for cablecos. In terms of network architecture and the types of services offered, a muni operation is likely to be more similar to a cableco than a telco. Legally, a muni operation is very much like a cableco. A cableco operates under a franchise agreement with the local government, and therefore a cableco is, in a sense, a creation of the local government. A muni operation is also a creation of the local government, just with a different ownership structure.

As a practical matter, I think muni operations are much more likely to permit sharing than any of the cablecos. A muni operator doesn't own any television channels, production companies, music labels, and such; and therefore it has no economic incentive to steer customers to its own offerings and block out others.

Keep in mind and I have spoke to a few covad techs, they are still allowed in C.O.'s and in thier cages. Just like ASI is. Trust me I talked briefly (about the time I was hired at SBC) to a covad tech and he was in the C.O. before ASI became seperate on the day in may..
