I have always felt there was colusion between the RBOC’s at a very high level. This and the SBC effort continues to make me feel that way.

I understand if BellSouth petition is considered to be undermining alternate ISPs; but I totally miss how it impacts “unaffiliated” VoIP providers. Of course We have to make sure that Net Freedom is not undermined, as Askin says in the story. But the story does not indicate that something along this line will happen.

The SBC flap is also overblown in my opinion.

Their joint venture color is orange and not red. :-)
