  I've heard rumor that CLECs who are leasing copper pair from ILECs like
Verizon are going to be squeezed out of the market because the FCC/PUC/etc
is changing the rules to no longer require ILECs to offer fair access to
their infrastructure.  Meaning CLECs who operate their own equipment will
either (1) need to start stringing wires or (2) go out of business.

  This would not effect CLECs who buy wholesale DSL from Verizon.

  Dunno any more, and am too busy to find out.  FWIW.  FYI.  YMMV.  HAND.
