I'll just say that we've consulted legal counsel about what it would take
to become an ETC, and it's simply too burdensome for us to consider. We'd
need to become a telephone company, at the very time when old fashioned
telephone service is becoming a thing of the past. (We enthusiastically
support "over the top" VoIP so that we can help our customers get inexpensive
telephone service without ourselves having to be a telephone company.)
