« Why ecommerce is slowing down | Main | I fought the law... and I won? » Telecom and the Internet: Why?Bob Frankston has a good point: "Putting so much effort into issues like Network Neutrality and Broadband deployment diverts us from recognizing that the Internet has nothing to do with telecom except insofar as we let telecom control our connectivity." [Link] ...our home networking keeps improving because we have no reason limit it. Perhaps this is the biggest misconception driving policy – the assumption we need to incent people to do better. In reality as long as we don’t discourage it there are too many ways to make improvements – it’s more about removing impediments (that’s the point of antitrust). Home networks are still clunky but if you remember back just ten years ago things have improved a lot. jon posted this at 5:26 PM |
