David!  Greetings from elsewhere in the telephone world.

I haven't read the bill (It's probably available for
anonymous FTP from ftp.uu.net, or some other place), but
I do know that the telephone companies supported it, so
I doubt that it prohibited the telcos from doing anything.

The FCC has had some recent rulings dealing with the
applications of fiber-to-the-home, specifically with the
possibility of competition with cable companies.  But,
I don't remember any specifics.
