A New York, it would allow Bell to meet all its customers national and international telecommunications services - a company, invoice.

A little background of the Telecom Act: The idea was each company, all communication enterprises, comprehensive and open so that competition. It was the first major change in the telecommunications USA law in almost 62 years and tried to break down barriers between cable, wireless, local and long distance.

But for Bell, for the benefits of deregulation, he had to go over $ 1 billion to ensure that their local telephone network was open to competitors, local calls offer services in the Bell zone. That was part of the new law. For Bell RBOCs and other too long, competitors, go local.
