But I also want to say a few words about a closely related subject where we have shared responsibilities. The topic is mergers. And, again, I think our efforts can be complimentary. As you know, the Telecom Act opened the door for carriers to reach out and touch other markets. The long distance carriers can get into local phone service market.
Cable can also get into local.
So can wireless. Meanwhile, telcos can get into video. They can also offer long distance, though there are preconditions for the RBOCs. This cross-market entry was supposed to be at the core of competition Congress sought to foster. Mergers, as you know, can be procompetitive or anticompetitive.
