For *now*, ISPs that use VZ DSLAMs can buy "wholesale" (tariffed, not cost-based) access to them, usually at the price that is 1$ below their "retail" price. This is mandated by "Computer II/III" rulings, "comparably efficient interconnection". However, bells are trying to get forbearance from even having to do that. SBC's petition for forbearance was denied, however, Verizon's one is still pending.
