Note to Bush. The "baby" Bells own the phone lines they are leasing. They should be able to charge whatever the market will bear for the use of their property.
End Federal Government involvement in managing businesses.

End Federal Government involvement in managing businesses. Go back and read the article again - especially the part that says -
"The conservatives object strongly to the FCC trampling on the rights of states, whose encouragement of competition has served to contrast - and embarrass - the federal regulators. The state commissioners have required the Bells to live up to the Telecom Act by leasing their lines at reasonable rates."

No, wrong. "We", the locals who paid for the phone lines, own them.
