Re: Tuesday, October 22, 2002
Hi Doc, Off topic here, but didn't know where to attach it. I'm new to your site and I'm generally with you on most stuff. I saw your name signed to an open letter to FCC Secretary Powell about letting the foundering telcoms die. I wonder if you could expand on your reasoning behind this, other (I hope) than simple laissez faire idealogy. I'm not an economist, but seems to me there's an idea out there (Don Norman, The Invisible Computer where I saw it first) that infrastructure naturally tends toward monopoly (self-reinforcing effect of standards adoption, e.g. Windows) and that such monopolies ought to be accepted and heavily regulated.
