I think one of the cruxes here is whether the regulatory environment is technology forcing. I’ll use one example. I think it was President Bush who pushed for number portability across telecoms. So if you use a telecom, and it starts serving you well in the reception or whatever near your place, you can switch to a different telecom without giving up your telephone number, because if everybody has to get a new number when you switch telecom, not a lot of people will switch the telecom.
