For voice, yes. The FCC does not require competition on most data or
cable TV service. 

And yes, I know about this topic -- see recent article:
        http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,1984353,00.asp

What you call a monopoly I obviously call a successful company.
Microsoft, AT&T why not...

IBM, ---> CA, Microsoft, HP

Pepsi, ---> Coke

and Hershey's?  --> Mars

Who is Verizon's competitor for non-cell service on the east coast of
the U.S.?

All phone companies are required to allow competitors use their
infrastructure. Other phone companies have sprung up and done well -
there are two local phone companies in the KC area, only one has every
built a system to support their services. Cable companies can provide
every service a telco can. Satellite will, eventually, be a third
provider realm.

While we're on the subject of you being a communist, how much extra cash
do you have each payday? Can you start sending some of that to me as I'm
often short on expendable funds and I'd like to be able to visit the bar
more often. _______________________________________________
