Senate telecom legislation available from EFF

From: djw@eff.org (Daniel J. Weitzner)

As promised, the full text of the recently introduced Senate bill which
lifts the cable-telco ban and opens the local exchange market to
competition is available via anonymous ftp on ftp.eff.org.  A summary of
the bill, for those who value their leisure time, is also available.  Find
them as follows:

pub/EFF/legislation/infra-act-s1086-summary
pub/EFF/legislation/infra-act-s1086

EFF is not posting this bill in order to show support for it, but because
it is an important proposal, worthy of discussion and consideration.  At
the first hearing on the bill, there was almost no support from any side,
but the Committee Chair, Inouye, and ranking minority member, Danforth,
seem determined to move the bill forward.


Enjoy...
