The Evening Bridge - October 31, 2005
TOP STORY - Earlier today, the Federal
Communications Commission cleared two big telecom mergers: SBC's
takeover of AT&T and Verizon's acquisition of MCI. The approvals had
conditions, including that the two companies, when they combine with
their acquisitions, freeze the wholesale prices they charge
competitors to lease high-capacity business lines for 30 months.
Also, for two years, Verizon and SBC agreed to provide high-speed DSL
service to in-region customers without requiring those customers to
also purchase circuit-switched voice telephone service.
