Uh huh, so is that the only thing the bill does not let local governments decide? Of course not. Let local governments regulate for their city. If they make bad decisions, they will reap the consequences. In any case, telcos should never get immunity from any local laws and regulations. Edit: And it's not like telcos can't go to city council meetings and explain, with numbers, why certain regulations are bad. In addition, I bet that if the telcos were forced to build an entire neighborhood, they would actually lower their prices to get more people to sign up in order to better recoup their costs. That would be a good thing! Telcos want the monopoly without regulations. But if you're a monopoly, you have to be regulated or you're going to abuse your position. So I don't feel sorry for telcos at all.
