Were they? Probably. But AT&T and Verizon aren't in any position to criticize Google for that. They wouldn't exist but for years and years and years of stacking the regulatory deck. Ask a CLEC about how the telcos played the regulatory game after 1996. Oh wait, you can't, since the telcos gamed most of them out of business through artificial regulatory hurdles.</p> I’m so sick of AT&T throwing out this canard that Google was trying to get the FCC to stack the deck in their favor.
