There is competition (private local exchange carriers) all over the
place. But *you* don't have a choice. Not in the real world on or off
the Turnpike. You can't pick the local exchange carrier who is delivering
your dialtone when you pick up the phone. And you can't pick the services
that you get from that carrier, either.
But I don't think that we are arguing/
