ahhaha,

<<The way this kind of issue was resolved as is evident in the legal precedents presented by the Portland defendants is that users like ISPs have to pay rent to maintain the facilities, but one operator is still the owner. There is an advantage in such ownership initially, but in time there is little added value in the physical infrastructure. The value is in what is carried on it. Does anyone care about who owns the Brooklyn Bridge?>>

What if AT&T had built the Brooklyn Bridge and set up toll booths to pay for it and then AOL, and all other ISP's wanted to set up toll booths as well? Should T keep building the bridge?
