Jim,
That's not true at all. This topic is open for discussion, and you
are welcome to continue it.
HOWEVER: we paused the discussion on this topic a few weeks ago
because it was clearly getting a bit out of hand, and we wanted
EVERYONE to take a few moments to collect themselves before continuing.
As for the posting that you tried to make a few days ago that was
rejected, you were trying to post a pseudo-article from a known
astroturf organization that has been publicly shown to be a front for
telco incumbent propaganda. It was rejected because it was (a)
potentially inflammatory, and (b) though we are open to all
viewpoints, its not OK to post propaganda from any astroturf
organization without a clear disclaimer.

Funny, I thought this topic was banned from the list. Just two
days ago I
too tried to post an article about the very same subject and it was
rejected
by the moderator. I am guessing now that it is only certain points
of view
are banned and only certain points of view are allowed on this list.

Telecompetition or Binary Bureaucracy?/
/Do we want more government control of technology, or do we
want less? I love the subtitle of this article /because it
raises an interesting
question about Network Neutrality. The article proposes that all
government regulation is bad for innovation. Which probably
sounds good
in an article but ultimately doesn't address the the issue at
the center
of the debate. Is a monopoly or government worse for innovation?
Regulation specifically designed to encourage competition
probably may
or may not encourage innovation. Often regulation misses the
mark. What
about monopolies? What is their historical performance on
innovation. If
I look at telecom services it appears to me that for the last
25 years
regular old pots telephone service provided by the incumbent
providers
has not change significantly. So I would say that's a big strike
against monopolies in the telecom business being good for
innovation.
Thoughts?
