FCC ruling brings new direction to local Internet service market

"The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) says the Baby Bells no longer have to share their telecommunication lines and some local Internet service providers (ISP) are taking steps to preserve their business in the wake of that ruling. Here's what one ISP is doing: "Jeff Tuttle, president of Allison Royce & Associates Inc., says he saw the change coming and prepared his company to stand alone if they could no longer lease the lines from SBC. He says the ruling does prevent his company from providing DSL service to customers. However, Tuttle says that the company will continue to provide Internet-related services and consulting. "
