Here's a reprinted CNET News.com article taken from the T thread here in SI that proves that I was wrong, for the time being at least, regarding the imminent need for T to open up access to others on their <future> cable networks. exchange2000.com A brief excerpt follows: >>At this point, because the Internet is still in its infancy, it's not appropriate today to write such rules," said Kennard, following a speech in Washington. It was the first time Kennard had publicly rejected the Internet service providers' proposal. << I still maintain that it's more a matter of the FCC not being able to characterize the services which are emerging now, rather than a sense of procompetitiveness. By saying what they do, they mask their inability to bring their regs machinery up to speed to the point where rule makings will still be relevant aat the time they are finally published. And maybe thatis a good thing. This is both a reflection of the ever accelerating pace of technological evolution, and the sluggishness of bureacracy. In other words, if they could, they would. But they can't, so they say they shan't.
