Guys, don't freak out. Local wired telephony is regulated at the

Not exactly true. You could sell off that part of the business to an
undercapitalized company that you know will fail terribly. Heck, you
could even spin off a company of your own to sell it to. Or spin out
your profitable bits to a new company. Or you could become the
equivalent of a slum lord and starve that part of the network. You
could blame it on terrorists. Ultimately there is no way to force you
to do something that you don't want to do. And that is not necessarily
a bad thing.
