Sorry you believe this! It is so far from the truth. The local PSC/PUC’s are controlled by the RBOC’S. This is a fact try and have some law enforced and watch how they defend and support the bell comopany in your area. Trust me I have been in telecom for over 22 years operating my own business and have had to dispuite many times Verizon and the law clearly states they were in the wrong but the PSC has allowed them far to much leverage and they tie you up forever. The case that has been before the FCC for twelve years now is a excellent. RBPC’S control!!

Enforcing the rules to allow competition to grow would be the better part of his plan. Many rules or regulations have been disregarded and the FCC fails to enforce them as the favor goes to th Bells! My own personal experience has been if you can’t afford to suppor may lobbyist and attorneys the FCC turns theirt head from you no fair. Please be the fair Chair we need to allow growth and competition to help stimulate the economy. Me been at the FCC for tweleve years and the law aginst the RBOC’S has still yet toi be enforced while they continue to be unjustly enrich and grow back to a monolpy
