Another way to say it is that monopoly is necessary to take
advantage of geographic addressing. Baby Bells do that now
(with the area codes). I'm wondering what is their idea of
migrating into competitive market (centralized database?)
My understanding is that they used mandated exchange points to deal with
the deregulation of IXC's, but this only solves one half of the problem.
