I wonder how long the copper lines will even remain in place. Since FIOS 
was installed in my area, I've had sales people coming by the house for 
both Verizon & Comcast on a nearly daily basis. The prices they are 
offering for FIOS service are cheaper than the traditional phone, DSL, 
and CableTV services combined. I'm having mine installed tomorrow, and 
will be saving $10/month over the traditional services, and will be 
getting more channels, nationwide calling plan, and faster Internet. I 
should expect that if the legislation doesn't fly, they will just 
undercut the individual copper-line phone services with FIOS, making it 
a moot point.
