[GRLUG] NOT LINUX - net neutrality

[Bob Kline]

Yes, there's all that. But some
kind of regulation is often needed.
AT&T worked well as a regulated
monopoly for something like three
generations - it's what made universal
service come about.

But I take your point more generally.
The government's current war on the
private sector is not doing any of us
much good...
