"Reform" is what those advocating any particular change always call it, progressive or regressive. As I recall, the last "reform" slaughtered competitive DSL. The CLEC settlement rules, which the Bells wrote, but miscalculated, are probably the next target. That should allow them to kill competitive VoIP. OTOH, maybe I am too old and cynical. Or worked in telecom too long.
