Some of the facilities are mine and some are BellSouth's. Yes, it would
affect me and others in that BellSouth would no longer have to provide us an
option to use their facilities.

It would affect dry pairs and just about everything that BellSouth is
currently "forced" to make available to other companies.
Considering that BellSouth still have a monopoly on the local wiring, many
feel that this much deregulation is a step too far.
