That the new telecommunications legislation has mandated sharing of infrastructure does NOT mean it will be shared in a way that will encourage competition! Incumbent local carriers everywhere are looking to set rates, terms, and conditions so that they have an edge and/or competition is still impractical. And because they have the local lobbying muscle, they often can do this quite effectively.
