No; The telecommunications industry is so mired in regulations - at the state and federal levels - that no change would be possible through an elected official. In fact, without a major regulator overhaul, the status quo is likely not to change any time soon. We cannot even get a consensus on the little things. A major change to such a large industry, which would also affect so many citizens, is not in the cards. The answer to this is going to be local entrepreneurship. Like that of Aloha broadband, and potentially others to follow.
