Has anyone looked into the the new cable bill that
just got passed?  My specific question is does this
new legislation address the new telecommunications
technology of fiber to the home?  Does it
prohibit/allow/address the local phone companies
ability to supply the conduit of the distribution
of cable services to homes?

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.

Oh yeah.  The usual disclaimers apply here.
