Ray-

The issue for the PUC has little to do with internet services and a lot 
to do with the two issues of restraint of trade and quality of service.
The PUC is chartered with protecting the consumer (business or 
individual)
from the manifest dangers of a monopolistic utility.  If the PUC does 
not
ensure that a utility will function in the interest of the primary 
consumers
of the utility, it has abdicated its responsibility.
