| Much ado about Nothing Contextual advertising has been going on for some time, for example I was researching Hello Kitty items looking and bid history on Ebay to see what they were going for. as a result I getting plush and Hello Kitty suggestions from Ebay. The there contextual ads on Live Journal.
IF there is anything I am bothered with is how business today are trying to see revenue outside their main buissness, be it internet or airlines.
"empowering individual and business internet users by making their experience more accessible and relevant."
This is true for the advertiser allowing them to target their ad on only on people who will buy their product. I would like to see more of it because I am sick and tired as a bible believing (reformed ) Christian getting ads for anti Christian programing and gay bear dating sites because I have the word bear and Christ in my Live Journal.
I do not see the need for grandstanding Congress critters or corporate wonks need to get involve in this issue. If any thing the free market shroud sort things out by letting a entrepreneur create a encryption service or router that can thwart deep packet scanning. I be first in line to buy it. |

kudos:5 | There are several. COPOWI (Community Powered Internet) is one that I have used.
Be sure to sign up for a few of these for a short term, and test them well. Distance is a factor, since going through a proxy creates significant bandwidth increases. |

A free market solves nothing. We've seen that time and time again. I'd be all for a totally deregulated market if companies weren't granted monopolies and allowed to continue unchecked in blatantly anti-competitive practices.
Telecommunications is one of the few markets where we need MORE regulation, or at least a branch of government with the power to enforce current regulations (and have those regulations written into law, unlike the FCC's 'rules'). |

It's funny how those who worship at the altar of the free market see absolutely nothing wrong with direct invasion of privacy by entities who stand to make a lot of money from it at the same time they tell you how good it is for you. Since you're so happy with this sort of arrangement and don't see a need for government intervention to prohibit the practice and/or at least have regs in place that said entities must notify customers, why don't you just hand over all your personal financial info and such to me. I promise it's good for you and I'll send you a coupon for a free pint of Ben & Jerry's. |

| Actually I'm impressed that it even occurred to you check a source that was not directly connected to your investment portfolio. |

As stated on the wiki:
There is a fairly common misconception that reductio ad absurdum simply denotes "a silly argument" and is itself a formal fallacy. However, this is not correct; a properly constructed reductio constitutes a correct argument. When reductio ad absurdum is in error, it is because of a fallacy in the reasoning used to arrive at the contradiction, not the act of reduction itself.
So were you merely pointing out the logical argument technique or implying that by utilizing this technique the author's argument was invalid? |

A fundament flaw is the Orwellian use of competition. Completion will allow other to install wire to the premises rather than forcing redistribution of bandwidth to companies who did build the physical network. I think of the Brand X / EarthLink case. IF we want true competition then do way with local franchising and force government to grant easements to any company who want run copper or fiber networks. |
