This is a very long story that began with the deregulation of the 
industry throughout the 1980s, and culminated with Markey's committee 
in the 90s.  The righties under Reagan got it started, and then the 
Dems on the telecom committee kept it going.  The Telecom Act, sad to 
say, was quite bipartisan.
