Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.

Description[?]:
| Phone service is an essential public utility. Since telecom operators essentially have a monopoly in their areas of service, and since the costs of entering the market are prohibitive, and entering the market is wasteful (companies need to lay new copper/fibre in areas that already have it), it is essential that it be regulated. |

Proposal[?] to change The government's policy concerning phone services.
Old value:: There are no regulations on phone service.
Current: Telephone lines are provided free of charge to all citizens.
