Indiana is doing away with its requirement that the incumbent LECs
supply voice service to rural areas.  Indiana also used to require a
telephone, and posted emergency numbers for the nearest fire, police,
and ambulance service (or 911) near any swimming pool.  The entire
section of state code regarding residential swimming pools has now
been eliminated.  A victory for rural swimming-pool owners everywhere,
now people can drown in home swimming pools with no land lines nearby
to call for help.
