Asymmetry and the nature of work
I was writing about this issue in 1993, and it's as relevant then as it is now. I remember when the Bell Atlantic-TCI merger was announced -- it was clear then that the only agenda was to strip mine out the public interest component of the telecom infrastructure and put toll booths wherever was thought to be ncessary. In 1993 it was visionary but not too much so to envision a distributed peer-global network that demanded symmetry of access as a design point. Today it's just ghastly that if I want a symmetrical data service I still need to provision a T-1.
