Open access never will come close to replacing, a carrier's ability to share
the spectrum with their own gear or own their spectrum.
I don't want to support anything that gives a fake sense of security for
competition.

Sorry, lost my thought.
First Verison was told to sell the retailer DSL at a resonable cost.
Then they kissed up to the FCC and suddenly they were selling "wholesale"
DSL to the retailers at $23.50 while they were advertising the retailer's
customers $14.95. Sweet deal for Vz.
Then we got the bill... Yeah, if you signed the contract, you know about
that bill. It was retroactive. "Gee, you don't have xxx customers?
Well, you signed for that many. Guess we have to charge you
*rectroactively* for the xxx customers you do have." Yeah, I told the
boss the day he signed that contract, "This is a fish hook." Eat this and
they will kill you.
He got a bill from Verizon for $45,000.00 because he did not "whole sale"
enough customers at $9.00 per month more than the ONLY OTHER PLAYER IN HIS
MARKET... Verizon.
Did we complain? Yeah, we did. We took it to the top in Verizon. We
were told, "Even the FCC can't do anything about it."
Verizon was right.
They bought the FCC and nobody complained.
Fancy that.
