Another piece of evidence that shows why the Government has a strong case this time around. The States and DOJ should stay ahead of the game and move quickly. Most people don't understand what is at stake here. Innovation, competition, and software/hardware integration is good for the economy as long as the rules and policies are clear, and players comply with those rules and policies. This battle is not about regulation. Policies should be formulated from a holistic standpoint: gateways (browsers/desktop OS/WEB TV Clients/hand-held devices/information devices), conduits (the networks that carry the content), and the content itself. We just cannot let one company monpolize the paradigm emerging from this model. There are other industry segments at stake: banking, finance, airlines, retail, publishing, media, entertainment, et.al. It is imperative that lawmakers and policymakers take a much broader perspective on this issue. What we need is policy leadership NOT hands-off approach. techweb.com
