Doc Searls: The FCC and the Giant Zero
"Message to Verizon and the rest: the Internet is not about ‘consumer choice’. We produce as well as consume. We need to be able to run our own servers. [emph. added] We need to be able to exercize supply as well as demand. We need symmetricality, not just neutrality."
Amen to that.
I live in Santa Fe. As far as I can tell, my choices are Earthlink (via Qwest DSL @ 1.5Mbps) and Comcast. If I want a static IP address, a useful step to server-hood, then my rates would go up by 30%. Bah.
