Just in case you don't have anything interesting to read on the plane back
from Tiawan.

Does this mean that a "carrier" that recently jumped in the voice market
(it could be either an ISP now providing VOIP to their customers along
with a data bundle that -or- a VOIP-specialized carrier that leverages
the IP bandwidth provided to the customer by another ISP) now has some
leverage to go to the FCC to "require" (note the quotes) another
"carrier" that historically has been in the traditional business of
copper/TDM to connect primarily using IP/SIP?
[RS> ] Yep that's the idea! 

Negotiations are to be in "good faith" of course. No I have no idea what
that means.
