Verizon does not need to share the new fiber plant. The copper plant is what Verizon has to share with other people. Why invest in something you don't get all to your self. It will be interesting to try and get T1 and DS3 lines from AT&T in the Verizon footprint. Although I suspect that AT&T is doing the same thing with their copper plant.
The regulators are getting exactly what their policies have said they want.
Remember Ma Bell is back! and this time she's pissed.

We should all chip in and get a complete set for the US Patent office. It might help them get rid of some bad patents they have issued over the years.
Or if you say you are using a computer in a patent app and don't cite Knuth as prior art for something you get tossed for that as well.
