I'm kind of thinking the same way. As LEC's lose customers and access, the government is going to realize that all this unregulated traffic is some prime, revenue generating potential. Maybe if they did, it would help to level the playing field. I work for a small LEC and I hear from customers all the time complaining about why taxes, USF, surcharges for local taxes, 911, etc, are so high when cable companies and cell companies are so cheap. All I can tell them, is that we don't play by the same set of rules and that our hands are tied most of the time.
