I'm referring to the extant machinery behind the cartel that I refer to as the regulatorium. The dominants are plugged directly into the machine. If the machine falters, so too do many of the favors that the dominants receive and the levers that they routinely pull. What are the constituent parts of the regulatorium? Start with your law school graduates and MBAs aspiring to public offices and telecom industry positions and work your way up, sideways and upside-down within Washington and the state capitals, the regulatory hotels where industry players and regulators routinely exchange rooms, not forgetting to include astroturfing think tanks and lobbying machines on K Street, and their cheerleaders for hire who get elected every 2, 4 or 6 years. I earlier neglected to stipulate that any transmogrification of the regulatory sphere would necessarily have to include a gradual infusion of new blood, leaving most case law and legal precedents relating to Samuel Morse's and Alexander Graham Bell's inventions behind (yeah.. yeah... I know, but you can't gig me just for having a little serious fun).
