Yes, thanks to "Blue Boar" I see that they have changed the bundling
regulations... however, I read the article and it seems that Verizon

Non-cell is a wide area of services, and not living there I couldn't
tell you. I know that here the local loop is mostly SBC/AT&T - but I
can and do get service from MCI, Sprint, Qwest, etc.. Looks like
Pac-West is building out to Philly and Maryland...and Floriduh...

Comcast not providing VoIP or broadband?
