For *now*, ISPs that use VZ DSLAMs can buy "wholesale" (tariffed, not
cost-based) access to them, usually at the price that is 1$ below their
"retail" price. This is mandated by "Computer II/III" rulings, "comparably
efficient interconnection". However, bells are trying to get forbearance
from even having to do that. SBC's petition for forbearance was denied,
however, Verizon's one is still pending.
Enjoy ability to buy loops while you still can - we have the best FCC
money can buy.
