Anonymous (Name Withheld on Advice of Counsel) writes "While some people think anything that helps incumbent telecoms stinks, the Tauzen-Dingell bill does the network more good than harm by rolling back the crazy regulations in the Telecom Act of 1996.
You should judge regulation on the effect it has on people, not on how it makes you feel. While I'm no fan of telcos, I won't block good regulation because it benefits companies I don't like. By undoing the 1996 pricing regulation (TA96) that mandated local loop incumbents 1) provide access to bottlenecks at just and non-discriminatory prices, 2) offer unbundled network elements (UNE) for resale and 3) allow local carriers to enter long-distance if they open their local loop, Tauzen-Dingell has set the stage for more infrastructure investment.
