These must let other, smaller, companies make use of their switches, etc. to compete with them. I don't know what the long-term effects would be, but at least a short-term drop in rates seems possible if any company takes the bait. The article didn't say much, if anyone else has any info I'd be interested. Standard disclaimer applies, you legalistic hacks. | Ron Dippold
