But hasn't that been the 'model' since ... whenever?
democracy has been co-opted by corporatists who hail 'free-markets' while doing 
everything
in their power to lobby and change laws to give them monopolies funded by 
public subsidy.

In Big Agra, Pharma, Energy, the list goes on, and on. Why should IT be any 
different?
The straw that has borkened the camel's back is when all pretense of 
"public-good" fell by the wayside as
the shrub put the foxes in charge of the hen-house w/politically appointed 
"friends of big-biz"; 
who were the lobby and will return to same after they've gutted govt (or shrunk 
it down to the 
size of shriveled nuts in a cold shower).
