I usually avoid these endless "pissing contests" that seem to occupy so
much Computer Guys bandwidth. But I have two comments to Mr. Kessler's
piece: 1. I don't trust anyone who used to be a hedge fund manager to
give an honest opinion of anything and 2. while I am against huge
profits from either sanctioned or quasi monopolies, *somebody* has to
pay for the infrastructure (both building it and maintaining it). If the
users of the services don't pay for it, then who will?

Commission (FCC) investigating wireless open access and handset
exclusivity—that may finally end the 135-year-old Alexander Graham Bell
era. It's about time.
