Verizon, SBC push for reform of video rules

Seeing as the telco's were struck a blow last week here in Texas, this is especially noteworthy.

Justin Hyde writes for Reuters that:

Executives from the two largest U.S. telecommunications companies called on Monday for lower legal barriers to launching their own video services, amid worries that their plans could be delayed by regulators.

Both Verizon Communications Inc. and SBC Communications are spending billions of dollars to launch residential video services over the next 12 months, which they see as essential to competing against cable companies targeting their customers with telephone and high-speed Internet services.
