What's next? They are coming to take you away Phillipe. And I'll be happy
for you to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats who are coming to take you to the funny farm,
where life is beautiful all the time ...

There seems to be an obvious reason -- it is going to cost more to buy the
last mile into consumers' homes since the courts sided with the Bells over
carriers leasing lines at low prices. I wonder whether Sprint will follow
AT&T and start offering VoIP instead with their extensive data network. For
instance, I read that Time Warner is using Sprint to handle connecting to
the POTS.

Side question: are there other major newsgroups (even alt.* groups) focused
on VoIP. I found comp.dcom.voice-over-ip.

Thanks, Tom

Hmm... posting from Earthlink, on a Mac, I wonder who this is? I have a
guess. Plus there's the "small" piece of the story the poster failed to
report on: the recent court decision that all but dealt a death-blow to
UNE-P. It allows the RBOC's to raise the prices it charges on the lines
being rented. Drastically. In one case of which I'm aware, over 90%.
Nearly double.

This says far more about that case than it does about Sprint.
