Petere, re: "Circuits are property, licenses are property, waveguides are property, packets are payload... As technology has converted everything to bits, regulating Circuits is less useful. What remains is business cases." Well, some are investigating a model called "asset based" networking, where the customer arranges for financing and ultimately gets to own their own circuit. I had a radio license once, but it proved to be a liability when I found myself installing TVI filters on my neighbors' TVs. Waveguides are property, but who needs them unless they can house fiber to the home? Now, packets. They may be payload, just as you say, but nowadays it's a question as to who owns the bit load within. FAC ps - what was your main point ;)
