Rodent Regatta

I missed this Dan Gillmor column when it ran on November 3rd. Apparently, some feel we’re being held hostage by our legacy, quasi-governmental phone companies.

They want to claim that the subsidies they received when building their networks didn’t and don’t allow anyone but them to make a decision about who can use those networks. It’s time for competition. I, for one, am not convinced that broadband availability in homes and offices requires government intervention.

With Dan Isenberg, I say ”let ’em fail fast.”
