So, I disagree with his premise, and his argument about the premise, that wired telephony is a "natural monopoly", and I'm not allowed to say so? What, who speaks first is now the authority and cannot be questioned?
All of what he said is based upon the "natural monopoly" premise, and since we disagree on that premise, we don't have anything to debate about what he said, I disagree with his conclusions. This is neither disrespectful nor insulting. And, since it's somewhat off the topic of this thread, I chose to not further pursue it. Now, can we get on with whatever our conversation will be about the matter of import, at least at this point in time? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -------------------------------------------------- From: "Faisal Imtiaz" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 12:31 PM To: "WISPA General List" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Flexible rules promised for wireless > It is tough to have a meaningful discussion when you make comments as > such .. > > You don't have to agree with Fred, but if you listen to him with and > open mind, at worst you will end up learning about a whole series of > events that got us this point... > > And it is not due to some individual who went to Washington and Kissed > someone ! > > :) > > Faisal Imtiaz > Snappy Internet& Telecom > > > > On 12/21/2010 3:06 PM, MDK wrote: >> I wholeheartedly disagree with your premise. >> >> > From that point on, we have little to debate about. >> >> >> >> >> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >> Neofast, Inc, Making internet easy >> 541-969-8200 509-386-4589 >> ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ >> >> -------------------------------------------------- >> From: "Fred Goldstein"<[email protected]> >> Sent: Tuesday, December 21, 2010 11:43 AM >> To: "WISPA General List"<[email protected]> >> Subject: Re: [WISPA] Flexible rules promised for wireless >> >>> At 12/21/2010 01:57 PM, MDK wrote: >>> >>>> The whole problem was creating monopolies in the first place, and then >>>> pretending you can "fix" what you broke by half-baked notions of >>>> government >>>> created markets... >>> Uh, no.
