Thanks for this posting, Marianne.
	Just wanted to add the obvious comment that this is one more
action on the part of our current administration's FCC, which in league
with the big incumbent telcos, is marginalizing competition and choice,
hiding the fees being charged and raising rates to end-users.  It is the
antithesis of our goals and efforts to realize open access, competitive
broadband for all.   Though AT&T is not the incumbent provider in NM,
Qwest has a similar request pending at the FCC.   Such greedy and corrupt
actions are undermining and eroding our nation's future from within.
