Abstract
In Weisman (1995), I construct a model to investigate the incentives o f a vertically-integrated regulated fin to discriminate against downst ream rivals. This model suggests that the RBOCs do not have the same i ncentives to discriminate as AT&T prior to divestiture. Reiffen (1998) questions this and other conclusions. This reply addresses his claims .
