internet pwnership
Cringley's latest article about some guy named Frankston and his ideas about last-mile ownership reminded me A LOT of something I wrote here last October.
I really do think this is worth exploring. Not that I think it's guaranteed to work, but I wish someone would at least try it. However, privatisation is the rule here in the U.S. and I could see Telco-backed legislation outlawing the public-owned network idea. Sigh. Maybe it would be easier for us all to move to Japan, South Korea and Scandinavia.
