All it takes is time and money...  (and lawyers)

that's quite a lot to ask of local ISP nowadays..  I just saw
another free provider yesterday (Barnes and Noble bookstore)..

At the same time, I can't imagine ISP's becoming telcos in response
to unfair politics..  In fact, that's precisely why I wouldn't want
to be a telco and compete/depend on a hugh monopoly with politicians
in their pockets..
