Re: don't worry, be happy said by Karl Bode:I do remain skeptical about, as I said, this quest for total deregulation (cable or telco) as it is currently presented: some gift from the gods that results in full deployment, low prices, and laughing children playfully dancing in sunbeams. Maybe, but I could say the exact same thing about "total regulation."

I don't know anybody who advocates for total regulation. Nor do I know any person or organization intentionally pushing for bloated, dysfunctional regulation that cripples industry. Not to say that isn't the residual effect of some idiot legislators, but it is not an actual position.
I could however rattle off about fifty well funded telecom think tanks who do in fact push for an extreme position where Uncle Sam has absolute no regulatory authority over industry. That really is their goal, it is not hyperbole.
I would have fewer issues about this if this goal was presented honestly (we want maximum profits, and a weak Uncle Sam), but it's frequently sold under the guise of consumer advocacy, and that will venomously annoy me until the day I'm buried. | |
