SBC Wages Bitter Fight On "Sharing' Rules; Lobbying Lawmakers; Local Bell makes case that it must lease lines at unfairly low prices.(INTERNET & TECHNOLOGY)(Q & A)
Byline: REINHARDT KRAUSE
There aren't any known volcanoes in San Antonio. Rather, it's the local phone company based there that's spewing fire and brimstone these days.
SBC Communications Inc., which dominates local service in parts of the West and, through its Ameritech unit, the Midwest, is warning of a fiscal doomsday unless there are big changes in how it's regulated.
The regional Bell is fighting hard to get lawmakers and regulators on its side.
At issue: rules that force the Bells to share local phone networks with AT&T Corp. and other rivals.
The rules grew out of the Telecommunications Act of 1996, a landmark law intended to spark competition in the local and long-distance phone industries.
SBC is pressuring the Federal Communications Commission to change the rules. It says rivals are allowed to lease its lines and switches -- called unbundled network element platforms -- at unfairly low prices.
