		<description>&lt;p&gt;Tim, that&#039;s right about peering.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I discussed &lt;a href=&quot;http://lippard.blogspot.com/2005/10/level-3-depeers-cogent.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a specific example&lt;/a&gt; of a recent peering controversy (tier 1 provider Level 3&#039;s depeering of tier 2 provider Cogent) at my blog last October that gives some basic information about how peering and peering relationships work, with reference to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.isoc.org/inet99/proceedings/1e/1e_1.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a good paper on the subject&lt;/a&gt; by Geoff Huston.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Here&#039;s an even more interesting question.  If the telecom and cable designations change, would that mean that the telecoms are now subject to the public access laws?  See link for particulars.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/P/htmlP/publicaccess/publicaccess.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/P/htmlP/publi...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Tim -- I saw that too.   You are correct.  Common carrier regulations apply to &quot;telecommunications&quot; networks -- essentially the last-mile connections to end users provided by telcos (including, until last year, broadband connections.)  The backbone is something different entirely -- it is NOT provided exclusively by telcos, and was never under common carrier regulation.   Progress and Freedom has a good survey of the backbone market here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pff.org/issues-pubs/communications/books/051018Interconnection.pdf&quot;&gt;http://www.pff.org/issues-pubs/communications/b...&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
