Antitrust? Gee, Baby Bells?

Richard's VoIP and ENUM blog has picked up a story from the Associated Press reporting that a federal appeals court has turned over a lower court ruling which had previously dismissed a lawsuit which alleges that "...several of the nation's largest telecommunications providers... conspired to exclude competitors from their home markets..."

Gee, this hardly even seems shocking to me. Especially given the rumors that SBC now wants to buy BellSouth... Can't the bell heads think of anything more interesting to do than put AT&T back together again?

All I can say is that I am ready to have Google be my (VoIP) telephony provider as soon as they bring WiFi over here to my side of the bay!
