  Infrastructure Held Hostage: Fixing New York's DSL Problems and How You Can Help
 

A critical public discussion marking the 5th anniversary of the Telecommunications Act -- There is general agreement that Verizon/Bell Atlantic, the local phone monopoly that controls the infrastructure, (one of the original Baby Bells) has been less than cooperative in providing competitive DSL providers (Covad, Northpoint, Rhythms and others) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) timely, accurate, and complete access to these facilities. Despite Federal fines and private litigation by DSL providers, Verizon/Bell Atlantic has frequently missed install appointments, erroneously disqualified locations and inadvertently disabled working circuits.

Speakers included: Bob Ponce, Silicon Alley Station, Bruce Kushnick, New Networks Institute; Joe Plotkin, Bway.net; Jason L. Solotaroff,  Stamell & Schager, LLP, Amy Rutkin, Chief of Staff for Congressmen Jerrold Nadler.
