Since many people on a number of lists like the CHAT suggestion,
here goes:

Do you get the feeling that the telecom bill will be rolled through 
with very little working out of the public issues?

Does it feel like a deregulation effort (period).

Issues I see needing addressed include cross-ownership, 
interoperability, universal service, and the on-going role of public 
interest groups on the joint federal-state board.

Does this mean we must experience the effects of deregulation before 
we address the "obvious problems?"
