Great article, Fred - "Until common carriage and a free market for ISP services is restored, trying to come up with a proper rule for Internet management is an exercise in well-intentioned futility, and its unintended consequences are likely to make matters worse, not better." Yes. The piece is a succinct analysis of problems "in the box", with particular emphasis on the financial drivers and constraints. The greater problem is the economic construct, which is dated. By themselves, new policy or regulations won't do it - and that truth isn't just applicable to the US. It's possible to align policy and the construct in ways that allow evolution. I hoped Jim Baller's initiative would have gained more traction, because the required changes will need political input. What we have seen is the growth of a more coherent and well-articulated view on what is needed, working against well-funded opposition. The opportunity for change is finally approaching, and with it a chance to create new policy. But the economics must change too. Not easy, but it can be done. Jim
