Predicted. Messaged per the playbook; big bad company vs. little guy (who should now be comforted someone is looking out for them).
The '85 court decision gave the telco's carte blanche to go after markets as they saw fit, but infrastructure is a decades-long capital endeavor.

Wait till someone plays the tape to the end for them.
The transparency aspect? De rigeur for this regime. All is tolerated because of a stone-less Congress. The 2 R's on the commission panel today (outvoted) were pretty clear in their descriptions of the ambiguous (i.e., let's fill in what we want later) nature of the rulemaking.
