You can also contact your public service commissioner (www.lpsc.org) and
express your extreme disapproval of this. I'm sure the FCC overrides
them, but it doesn't hurt to voice your opinion. I've written Jay
Blossman two letters in the past requesting Bellsouth unbundle DSL from
voice service, and never heard back from him. So i'll never vote for him
for anything, ever. Rumor has it that Bellsouth has the whole LPSC in
their back pocket anyway, so it might not do any good.
