Re: Huh?

Yeah, but let's keep in mind that the destruction of the Telecom Act of '96 started with Clinton forcing Reed Hundt out of the FCC chair and replacing him with Kennard, who quickly put the brakes on pro-competitive enforcement and unbundling activities.

(This comment is not meant to start another UNE vs. non-UNE debate, but to point out that if you agree with Lessig here, as I do, that it wasn't Bush who turned us off the proper course. He just reinforced Clinton's push in the wrong direction.)

If you don't believe me, you should review Reed Hundt's book, You Say You Want a Revolution : A Story of Information Age Politics.
