Mitch Daniels, who supports deregulating the telecommunications industry.
A procedural dispute delayed a vote on the bill for more than two hours, but House Republican leaders said they cleared it up and lawmakers voted 78-18 in favor of the bill. Supporters say the bill will spur high Internet development in Indiana by eliminating the regulations that have kept phone companies out of the broadband market in the past. They claim more competition among phone, cable and Internet providers would keep prices low while expanding voice, video and data choices for consumers. The legislation would also create one statewide agency to award video programming contracts so that cable companies and other FOR THE RECORD Births McCULLOUGH-HYDE HOSPITAL McCoy, Nichole and 1 Shawn, boy, REID HOSPITAL Richmond Burwick, Amy and Jerry, boy, Feb. 20 Sandlin, Shonda and Eric, girl, Feb.

"We are going to unleash hundreds of millions in investments and create thousands of new jobs," said Rep. Caroline Mays, D- Indianapolis. But opponents of the legislation say consumers will be stuck with higher prices for basic phone service and that phone companies will take the profits and invest them in more lucrative markets in hopes gaining an edge on the competition.
"I'm all for the free market. It'sa beautiful thing when it works, but a lot of time it doesn't work," said Rep. Matt Pierce, D-Bloomington. "It's a lot like a basketball game. Some times you need officials." June Lyle of AARP Indiana said customers can expect their basic phone rates to increase and the service quality to decrease overt time.
