<<the incumbents in question include politicians, the unions, the facilities folks, the electrical- and vendor- supply chains, the standards bodies, zoning officials, franchise bureaus, the standards bodies, the standards bodies (get the picture?), and let's not forget a growing number of pundits and gurus, as well.>>

That's exactly what Mancur Olson calls collusions. All those societies that -foir decades- have not been disrupted by wars or revolutions -stable societies like the US- are prone to fall.

That because they have acquired these collusions you describe above. The country becomes -you going love this term- "engessado". Engessado is cast in plaster, like when your arm is inside plaster after you have broken it.

You can't move!!!

That's why I say the US has peaked: because it is engessado.

IEEE, Forums. org and that dead corpse that forgot to lay down to rest, a.k.a ITU-T, are the archetypal example of collusions!!!
