OT - Deregulation of Data Networks

Just wondering if anyone else had read up on the "Internet Freedom and
Broadband Deployment Act of 2001". Haven't seen much news being made
about this particular bill, figured I'd throw it out to the collective
opinion of NANOG (since the desire is to allow RBOC's to offer InterLata
data services).

Cheers
