I don't believe BellSouth is regulated by the PSC are they?

On another note, my mother-in-law (retired, living alone) has had her 
phone go out about 15 times in the last year.  Went out again yesterday. 
  When I called it into BellSouth, I asked them if they had a record of 
the outages.  Just like it was a question they get asked a lot, the 
woman told me she could not provide me that information without a court 
order or subpoena.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
