[RTC List] Liberating the Net from the FCC

[John Hauser]

>From Doc Searles' blog, a different big picture view of broadband and
connectivity.

He links to a post by Bob Frankston (yes, *that* Bob Frankston,
co-creator of Visi-Calc, the first microcomputer spreadsheet program)
proposing the Office of Connectivity Advocacy.

There are enough good links in Doc's entry that I'm linking to it
instead of Bob's piece directly

Doc wrote the "Linux for Suits" column for Linux Jornal magazine for
several years in an attempt to explain the implications of what's come
to be know an "open source software" to business managers. He's
currently a Fellow in residence at the
Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.
