This equates “special access services” to “business broadband”. When I think special access, what comes to mind is stuff like T1 private lines, and leased circuits to celltowers. I guess maybe it includes metro Ethernet.
But is this really the broadband that your typical business buys? Or is this really all about legacy circuits that no one buys anymore, and the prices that landline phone companies charge to cellcos? Which I would think is also becoming moot as cellcos move to running their own fiber plus microwave backhaul.

How about this, T-Tommy Wheeler needs to get rid of the reporting regulations, stop giving billions to cellular and wireline providers, and resign from a post he is simply using to help his past and future consulting and lobbying customers at the expense of the WISP industry, and that should lower costs significantly.
