Bell Atlantic approved for Long Distance

Bell Atlantic has been cleared to sell long distance in New York, says the FCC. It's a "historic moment" according to FCC Chairman William E Kennard. However, there are a lot of upset CLEC's (Competitive Local Exchange Carriers) today as a result. One of Bell Atlantic's competitors, AT&T, has labeled Bell Atlantic's decision to split its Internet division "too little, too late." This article gives the facts on this fascinating development, but, more importantly, provides the reaction from within the industry. Well worth your time.
