"Reform" is what those advocating any particular change always call
it, progressive or regressive. As I recall, the last "reform"
slaughtered competitive DSL. The CLEC settlement rules, which the
Bells wrote, but miscalculated, are probably the next target. That
should allow them to kill competitive VoIP. OTOH, maybe I am too old
and cynical. Or worked in telecom too long.
