Since the FCC's ruling maintains the open Internet what do you feel will be done to help expand competition/access to affordable High Speed Internet? Would unbundling be an option?

I mentioned unbundling since I used to work for a facilities-based CLEC. By the time I had left Powell's FCC had gutted the 1996 Telecom act and the CLEC part of the company (which also was an ILEC) stopped offering residential phone and High Speed Internet.

I have long supported the idea of either unbundling or requiring the infrastructure to be spun-off into a separate company where ISPs would lease either the last mile or more. Basically a model common in Europe.
