Senator Holling's bill
(S.1364) is expected to be introduced this spring. It calls for a
"Structural Separation" of the Bell companies - the intent
is to separate the Bell companies wholesale and retail businesses
and eliminate their conflicted interest in harming competition. We
call it "Divestiture II" or Breaking up the Bells. |
