Regional phone carriers (or 'Baby Bells') in the United States have welcomed a ruling delivered by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on Friday.
Ruiling 3-2 in favour of Bell South, the FCC quashed attempts by regulators in Florida, Georgia, Kentucky and Louisiana to force the telecoms firm to provide high speed DSL internet access to customers who get their telephone services from a competitor.
Speaking to the E-Commerce Times on Monday, telecoms analyst, Jeff Kagan explained that:
"Making the DSL lines available to competitors was part of the early solution to get small competitors up and running, but no company should be expected to compete with competitors that do not have the same restrictions or hurdles."
He went on to add:
"This may or may not be the last word since everything is always appealed, but it's enough to let the Bells invest in rolling out their broadband services in order to successfully compete with the cable companies.
