On October 15th, 2002 -- over 13 years ago -- AT&T filed a Petition with the FCC to investigate the "special access" services that are controlled by the "Bell" companies, now AT&T, Verizon and Centurylink. The above quote supplies two of the section headings from the Petition's Table of Contents.
Fast Forward: During the summer of 2015, the FCC announced that it had collected new information about special access services from users and that special access was now a $40 billion dollar market. However, in order to view this new information, you must sign a letter of confidentiality.
