It's really odd. I think this is a complicated issue, but not materially different than any other discussion on regulation in that it's better to have less government involvement than more. If one form of government caused the problem, another form of government has almost no chance to solve it. To me the long term effects are obvious and not positive.

The hysteria from the proponents honestly makes me wonder if we have a bunch of horn balls who are worried pornhub is going to be throttled and they'll have to go to Comcast and ask for the perv package. And that scares the shite out of them.

It's my only explanation for the hysteria really.

The problem pro-regulation people have in these discussion............as in EVERY case in all of history.........is that they think that because they cannot figure out HOW the market will overcome the hurdles they see, that the market CANNOT overcome the hurdles they see.

They also have a huge problem with the fact that they always seem to see the world in snapshot.

People who thought Blockbuster was a "monopoly" thought the idea that online would never compete with them was absurd. I was INVOLVED in those conversations!! It was hilarious then too.

But, to add to my OP. A couple of key indicators(which are helpful when playing stocks I might add) are this.

The big dogs typically tell you with their actions if you look closely. And EVERY big dog in the ISP world.......and I mean EVERY SINGLE ONE......is focused on a wireless future.

Bookmark this thread. I've been on the board 9 years.

If I'm still here 9 years from now, it will already be becoming apparent that today's hard lines are 2005's Blockbuster video.
