My employer internal e-mail is telling me that HR 1542 comes up for a vote this Wednesday. If you have an opinion one way or another, you may want to express it to your representative.
HR 1542 would among other things allow RBOCs to enter into the long distance data market ( not voice, so I'm told ) It is also supposed to open up the ISP broadband market, which my employer says is dominated by cable companies and bankrupt CLEC's. IMHO this would prove among other things a real boon to voice over IP as well as data only networks, as your customers or your company could now obtain more or al of their service from a single carrier within any of the RBOC regions. ( There would still be 3rd party participation across RBOC boundaries. ) I personally think this is a good idea, but you may disagree. In either case, let your reps know how you feel.
