Of course that's what Verizon wants :D

This would basically open the cable and fiber networks up to the kind of competition that came into telephone a while back (well, in a few areas, then disappeared when all the phone companies merged into either Verizon or Southwestern Bell).

It would probably be more like deregulated electric though.

Fiber run to neighborhoods would be open to all comers. It would be very interesting. You buy your channels from whoever you want (maybe a company that donates 1% of revenues to charity or something).
