10/11/2006

speeds over copper wire. If they succeed, Verizon's
$18 billion decision to run fiber all the way into

other companies around the world that have jumped on
the fiber optic bandwagon.

DOJ Approves AT&T-BellSouth Deal - FCC remains the
final hurdle, Broadband Reports, 10/11/2006

phone, wireless and broadband services. As mentioned
yesterday, the newest Conservative FCC chief has
recused himself from the vote due to his previous
stint as a CLEC lobbyist, leaving the possibility for
a partisan split vote, which could delay final
approval.
