No, on the contrary. For example, if it hadn't been for proactive regulatory intervention in local loop unbundling in Korea and Japan and many other regulatory measures, there wouldn't be such a dynamic broadband market in those countries nor would one see so much growth in VOIP services. You can thank the regulators and policy makers in those countries for stimulating growth and bringing lots of benefits to users... Bob
