Does anyone know if the new price cap legislation takes new services
into account?  I can see it now.  New voice mail and Caller*ID
services are introduced at deliberately inflated prices.  The are
placed into one of the price cap baskets.  The artificially overpriced
products are reduced, allowing the scoundrels to inflate existing
service prices, or at least not lower them as fast as they should.
Just a thought.
