Kentucky did a PSC "Code of Conduct" for utilities, then also passed it
as a law...only problem being that they explicitly exempted telco's.
The Code of Conduct was great...dealt with quite a few issues concerning
intermingling of regulated and unregulated services from telco's and
other utilities, but then they listened to BellSouth claiming that
everything that the Code of Conduct specified they already had to do
*cough*nonsense*cough*.  They used the Telecom Act of '96's section 272 as
the basis for much of their arguments...but they neglected to mention
that 272 is no longer in effect (sunset clause effective Feb. of this
year).
